The glory days
They went flying
And I did not realize.
Only the memory
Continues to sustain me
Of what was one day.
I live with ghosts
Which nourish dreams
And false promises
They will not return to me
The glory days
I once had.
I lost my yagruma tree
And my hummingbird,
I lost my guitar,
It was lost in the fog
Where I lose the ability to speak
And I lose you.
The glory days
They went with everything
That one day was.
The glory days
Close hopes
Open windows
Through which enter
Old sorrows
Regarding the future.
What is it that remains to me
Of that morning
Of those sweet years
Without anger and weariness.
The glory days
We allowed them to go
I lost my yagruma tree
And my hummingbird,
I lost my guitar,
It was lost in the fog
Where I lose the ability to speak
And I lose you.
The glory days
They went with everything
That one day was.
