Yo adivino el parpadeo
I guess the blink
De las luces que a lo lejos,
Of the lights that in the distance,
Van marcando mi retorno.
They are marking my return.
Son las mismas que alumbraron,
They are the same ones that illuminated
Con sus pálidos reflejos,
With its pale reflections,
Hondas horas de dolor.
Long hours of pain.
Y aunque no quise el regreso,
And although I did not want to return,
Siempre se vuelve al primer amor.
He always turns to first love.
La quieta calle donde el eco dijo
The quiet street where the echo said
'Tuya es su vida, tuyo es su querer',
'Yours is his life, yours is his will',
Bajo el burlón mirar de las estrellas
Under the mocking look of the stars
Que con indiferencia hoy me ven volver.
That with indifference today they see me return.
Volver,
Return,
Con la frente marchita,
With the withered forehead,
Las nieves del tiempo
the snows of time
Platearon mi sien.
They plated my temple.
Sentir, que es un soplo la vida,
Feeling life is a blow,
Que veinte años no es nada,
That twenty years is nothing,
Que febril la mirada
how feverish the look
Errante en las sombras
wandering in the shadows
Te busca y te nombra.
He looks for you and names you.
Vivir,
Live,
Con el alma aferrada
with the soul clinging
A un dulce recuerdo,
To a sweet memory
Que lloro otra vez.
That I cry again
Tengo miedo del encuentro
I'm afraid of the meeting
Con el pasado que vuelve
with the past that returns
A enfrentarse con mi vida.
To face my life.
Tengo miedo de las noches
I'm afraid of the nights
Que, pobladas de recuerdos,
That, filled with memories,
Encadenan mi soñar.
They chain my dreaming
Pero el viajero que huye,
But the fleeing traveler
Tarde o temprano detiene su andar.
Sooner or later he stops walking.
Y aunque el olvido que todo lo destruye,
And although the oblivion that destroys everything,
Haya matado mi vieja ilusión,
It has killed my old illusion,
Guarda escondida una esperanza humilde,
Keep hidden a humble hope,
Que es toda la fortuna de mi corazón.
Which is all the fortune of my heart.
