Quizás el tiempo pueda decir

Si al fin regresaré,
If I will finally return,
Y lo pienso en inglés

Acaso en español

Lo grito hasta en francés
I shout it even in French
¿Quién soy?
Who I am?
Un homenaje
A tribute
Para tu ausencia
for your absence
Lo llenas todo
you fill it all
Con tu presencia
With your presence
