I guess the blink
Of the lights that in the distance
They are marking my return
They are the same ones that lit
With its pale reflections
deep hours of pain
And although I did not want to return
He always turns to first love
The quiet street where the echo said
'Yours is his life, yours is his love'
Under the mocking look of the stars
that with indifference today they see me return
Return
With the withered forehead
the snows of time
they silvered my temple
Feel
that life is a breath
That twenty years is nothing
how feverish the look
wandering in the shadows
She looks for you and names you
Live
with the soul clinging
to a sweet memory
that i cry again
I'm afraid of the meeting
with the past that returns
to face my life
I'm afraid of the nights
That, filled with memories
Chain my dream
But the fleeing traveler
Sooner or later he stops walking
And although oblivion, that everything destroys
I have killed my old illusion
I keep hidden a humble hope
that is all the fortune of my heart
Return
With the withered forehead
the snows of time
they silvered my temple
Feel
that life is a breath
That twenty years is nothing
how feverish the look
wandering in the shadows
She looks for you and names you
Live
with the soul clinging
to a sweet memory
that i cry again

marchita — withered

Marchita literally translates to "withered" or "faded". It's a poignant and evocative word that paints a vivid picture of decay and the passage of time.

In the song, the lyric "Con la frente marchita" (With a withered brow) uses this word metaphorically to describe the physical and emotional toll of time and sorrow. It beautifully conveys a sense of aging and the weariness that comes with life's experiences, making it a powerful and memorable choice.

"Volver" is Carlos Gardel's 1934 tango standard, recorded here by Il Divo for their 2015 album Amor & Pasión. The singer is coming home after years away, and every step back gets measured against who he used to be — he admits it "Con la frente marchita" [with a faded brow] and confesses "Tengo miedo del encuentro" [I'm afraid of the encounter].

The return isn't a homecoming to celebrate. It's a reckoning with an old version of himself, carrying nothing but a quiet, worn-down hope that the years were worth it.
