I forgot to dream
While I was throwing stones at the moon
With the force of a tear.
I forgot to wake up
To the voice of your wordless caresses.
We wanted to hunt blindly
For the light that we have never, ever seen.
And I forgot to breathe, like a kiss underwater.
And I forgot to breathe, as I was sorry to leave you behind.
There isn't enough oxygen,
There are no words, there is no time.
I can't take it any more.
Undress my skin
And the barrier of my lips.1
I will dig my fingers
Into the geography of your back.
We wanted to erase all doubt
And never, never, never have any regrets.
And I forgot to breathe, like a kiss underwater.
And I forgot to breathe, as I was sorry to leave you behind.
There isn't enough oxygen,
There are no words, there is no time.
Just a hope that will take us far away.
Make me want to love again.
And I forgot to breathe, like a kiss underwater.
And I forgot to breathe, as I was sorry to leave you behind.
There isn't enough oxygen,
There are no words, there is no time.
I can't take it any more...
I forgot...You forget me...
1. The French word here is "corset" from the Spanish "corsé." Somehow, I didn't think a reference to that piece of clothing would work as well in English as it apparently does in the other two languages. But I could be convinced otherwise.
