Today, I decided to write to you
after so much crying,
my tears are today those verses that
your absence will never erase
I'm leaving the same way I came to your life,
with no noise I say goodbye, I leave,
but it's so difficult to forget you, my love
it's so difficult to say goodbye,
Today, I've understood that
those walks will never be back
at the hotel
when you hurried me up,
to never lose an instant of us, making love.
I'll stop to see you grow up,
I'm leaving to live, where does oblivion lies?
I'll try to find another path, another love
each time, I try to lose fear to fall down
I stumble with myself,
and stop to escape from who has loved me,
and I remain unlit.
The ground of my life is dressed
shelter with leaves of a goodbye
my destiny is to love and saying bye
ask for permission to live.
You left forgotten in every corner
of my soul, pieces of my heart
you left forgotten in my soul, the scent
slept embraced to a flower.
I'll stop to see you grow up,
I'm leaving to live, where does oblivion lies?
I'll try to find another path, another love
and I know if I will lose myself
or find me, I feel so alone
but to my hell I'll go, searching
for everything I didn't give to you.
Today, I understood again
that you'll never caress me again
before going to bed
and close to my chest, you ask me
to hold you and never let you go.
I'll stop to see you grow,
I have to go, and find
my path and I'll never forget
how much you loved me, my love.
I'll stop to see you grow up,
I'm leaving to live, where does oblivion lies?
I'll try to find another path, another love
each time, I try to lose fear to fall down
I stumble with myself,
and stop to escape from who has loved me,
and I remain unlit.
Goodybe, my life, I leave, I let you go
I'll live on your memories
I'll never forget you
goodbye, Dulcinea 1, I leave
and if we find each other again
only embrace me,
I'm still that boy
afraid of growing up
I sleep next to your portrait, my love.
