El tiempo se asoma detrás de mis sueños
Frío de las horas que no han de volver,
Sombra de la higuera del patio del fondo
Voces de recuerdos en mi atardecer.
Eco de los nombres que borró la muerte
Llantos de la infancia, cosas del ayer,
Aunque con los ojos, trato de perderte
Vuelve con la sombra del anochecer.
(Instrumental)
Time peers out from behind my dreams
the chill of hours that will not return,
the shadow of the fig tree in the backyard,
voices of memories at my twilight.
Echoes of names erased by death,
the weeping of childhood, things of yesterday;
though I try to lose you from my sight,
you return with the shadow of nightfall.
(Instrumental)
