Nostalgia [English translation]

Years back when everything was greener,

they used to live at a slower pace

they used to go and contemplate the sunset,

they breathed a more pure air

seated in the park on a sunny afternoon,

reading Poe and Borges

under the noble umbrella.

Six months already,

he, waiting for her to respond to his love,

that he confessed in a telegram

"To Mariita,

a bright future

wishes you

Nicolas"

Flying kites on a sunny afternoon

reading Wilde and Goethe

under the noble umbrella

years back when everything was greener,

they used to live at a slower pace than today
