Soñé
I dreamed
Que volvía a amanecer
That dawn came again
Soñé con otoños
I dreamed of autumns
Ya lejanos
Now distant
Mi luz se ha apagado
My light has gone out
Mi noche ha llegado
My night has arrived
Busqué tu mirada
I searched for your gaze
Y no la hallé
And I couldn't find it
La lluvia ha dejado
The rain has stopped
De caer
Falling
Sentado en la playa
Sitting on the beach
Del olvido
Of forgetfulness
Formé con la arena
I shaped with the sand
Tu imagen serena
Your serene image
Tu pelo con algas
Your hair with seaweeds
Dibujé
I drew
Y busqué entre tus cartas amarillas
And I searched among your yellow letters
Mil "te quieros", mil caricias
A thousand 'I love you's, a thousand caresses
Y una flor que entre dos hojas
And a flower that between two leaves
Se durmió
Fell asleep
Y mis brazos vacíos se cerraban
And my empty arms were closing
Aferrándose a la nada
Clinging to nothingness
Intentando detener
Trying to hold back
Mi juventud
My youth
Al fin hoy he vuelto
At last today I've returned
A la verdad
To the truth
Mis manos vacías
My empty hands
Te han buscado
Have searched for you
La hiedra ha crecido
The ivy has grown
El sol se ha dormido
The sun has fallen asleep
Te llamo y no escuchas
I call you and you don't listen
Ya mi voz
My voice already
Y busqué entre tus cartas amarillas
And I searched through your yellow letters
Mil "te quieros", mil caricias
A thousand 'I love you's, a thousand caresses
Y una flor que entre dos hojas
And a flower that between two leaves
Se durmió
Fell asleep
Y mis brazos vacíos se cerraban
And my empty arms were closing
Aferrándose a la nada
Clinging to nothingness
Intentando detener
Trying to hold back
Mi juventud
My youth
