Yo no sé
I don't know
como pudo ser
how it could be
mi querida profe, mi primer amor
my dear teacher, my first love
era la edad, la dura lección
it was the age, the hard lesson
inevitable como el sarampión
inevitable like the measles
la recuerdo
I remember her
por las tareas
for the assignments
las que me mandaba, las que yo copiaba
the ones she gave me, the ones I copied
escribe más claro me decía
'Write more clearly,' she said to me
lléname este cuestionario
'Fill out this questionnaire for me'
trabaja un poco cada día
work a little every day
y mientras yo, pensando en el balón
and while I, thinking about the ball
después me iba a un cine de sesión continua
afterwards, I went to a cinema with continuous sessions
mi brazo por el cuello
my arm around your neck
aquel sabor a clorofila del beso
that taste of chlorophyll from the kiss
en la ultima fila
in the last row
y pienso en Lucía
and I think of Lucia
en la ultima fila...
in the last row...
y Lucía, como alucinada
and Lucia, as if enchanted
dónde puede estar, que será de ella
where can she be, what will become of her
que con los numeros nunca fue
who with numbers was never bright,
una lumbrera, como yo
like me,
que pasaba tanto tiempo
who spent so much time
con sus inacabadas poesías
with their unfinished poems.
lo que quedó de esos días donde esta
what remains of those days, where is it
de nuestro enorme futuro
of our huge future,
que va tragándose el pasado sin compasión
that is swallowing the past without mercy
a un sólo segundo
in a single second
de la última hora
of the last hour,
de última hora...
of the last hour...
y es que hoy
And today,
mi querida profe, ves como tu hijo
my dear teacher, see how your son
llegará a maestro
will become a master.
donde estarán mis compañeros
where my classmates will be
se repartieron por la vida
they scattered through life.
son los mejores, los primeros
they are the best, the first ones.
y algo, querida profe, fue por ti
and something, dear teacher, was because of you.
