The Last Candle

The night has come and there is only one candle left,
darkness rests on my shoulder and I can't find you,
tell me why have you consumed the light of my mornings;
we lived in darkness and it was all we had left.

The last ray of light was extinguished,
its flame always showed me where you were,
and now that you're gone, now that my tears have dried up,
I'm left with nothing but emptiness and a longing to return to you.

Tell me how you will return,
tell me how you'll find the candle that guided your way,
you've consumed it to exhaustion and it's all that's left,
fatigue, sorrow, pain and resignation.

You scream, you cry, you mock and then you implore,
but don't you see that you've finished with the hours
hours that I gave you in silence to show you this immense love,
the one you manipulate, control and imprison in pain.

I'm looking for that little sparkle to peek out,
behind a curtain glimpsing you dedicating songs,
songs of love and tenderness,
because in your voice I found sanity.

But I don't hear you anymore,
you are like a whisper at dawn,
a feigned caress at the touch of the skin.
You walk barefoot waiting for the sunset,
and now it's silence that makes you shiver.

Not one more kiss,
not a breath or a sigh, if we are left to wander
To wander along the cobblestone that we built together as we walk.
It splits in two as I go,
words of strength and courage for some friend.

You will not take the last candle,
if you can one day look up at the stars;
you may find me in one of them,
and if you will, build yourself a new one,
for the road or the sea, you don't know where you're going,
the last candle I'll keep,
and night after night for a second I'll admire its light.

La Última Vela

Llegó la noche y solo queda una vela,
la oscuridad posa sobre mi hombro y no te encuentro,
dime por qué has consumido la luz de mis mañanas;
vivimos en tinieblas y era lo único que nos quedaba.

Se extinguió el último rayo de luz,
su llama siempre me mostraba donde estabas tú,
y ahora que has faltado, ahora que mis lágrimas han secado,
apenas me queda el vacío y las ganas de volver contigo.

Dime cómo volverás,
explícame cómo encontrarás la vela que guiaba tu camino,
la has consumido hasta el cansancio y es lo único que ha quedado,
fatiga, penas, dolor y resignación.

Gritas, lloras, te burlas y luego imploras,
pero es que no ves acaso que has acabado con las horas
horas que te regalé en silencio para demostrarte este inmenso amor,
el que manipulas, controlas y aprisionas al dolor.

Busco ese pequeño destello se asome,
tras un telón vislumbrándote dedicando canciones,
canciones de amor y ternura,
porque en tu voz encontraba cordura.

Pero ya no te escucho,
eres como un susurro al amanecer,
una caricia fingida al roce de la piel.
Caminas descalza esperando el atardecer,
y ahora el silencio es quien te hace estremecer.

Ni un beso más,
ni un respiro o un suspiro, si acaso nos queda vagar
vagar por el empedrado que juntos construimos al andar.
Se abre en dos mientras atino,
palabras de fuerza y valor para algún amigo.

No te llevarás la última vela,
si puedes algún día mira las estrellas;
puede que me encuentres en alguna de ellas,
y si así lo quieres constrúyete una nueva,
para el camino o el mar, da lo mismo ya no sabes a donde vas,
la última vela voy a guardar,
y noche tras noche por un segundo su luz voy admirar.
