Como dos extraños [English translation]

Loneliness intimidated me,

and the tremendous fear to die far away from you.

How badly I felt like crying

feeling next to me the mockery of reality...!

And my heart begged me to look for you,

and to give you its love.

It was the heart asking me

and then I looked for you

thinking you would be my salvation.

And now that I am facing you,

we look, you can see, like two strangers,

a lesson that I, finally, learnt:

How do the years change things!

Anguish to know,

already are dead the illusion and the faith.

Excuse me if you see me weeping,

the memories have done me wrong!

The sun light faded

upon hearing you talking so coldly...!

Our love was so different,

and it hurts to realize

that all, that all came to an end.

What a big error to see you again

to leave me with a broken heart!

Coming back, there are one thousand ghosts,

making fun of me

and the ours of what died yesterday.

And now that I am facing you,

we look, you can see, like two strangers,

a lesson that I, finally, learnt:

How do the years change things!

Anguish to know

already are dead the illusion and the faith.

Excuse me if you see me weeping,

the memories have done me wrong!
