Esta ausencia [English translation]

To awake in the cold abyss of your absence

Is to beg for the lost hours in my room.

To remember each tear that was truly ours

Bleeds my soul. . .

It bleeds my soul. . .

To retrace the path that we wrote together

Is to touch a profound silence within the heart.

To escape through the gaps of a profound love

Is to lie anew by denying your absence.

This absence, so massive, so lasting, so deep,

That shatters my reason into pieces—

This absence, stripped of doubts and shadows,

Stabs me with your love.

This absence that aches in the soul's core,

That burns within my dream and my calm—

This absence of ice, of stone and silence,

That slices the hours mercilessly—

This infinite absence of nights and days

Has no end.

It was so easy to say that a "goodbye" would heal

The thorns impaled in your soul and mine.

This absence cries out to me that life is ending

Because you won't return. . .

(Won't) return. . .

Do you see it now?

Your leave accomplished nothing

Because time is meaningless

Before my solitude's shadow. . .

Do you see it now?

(His solitude is) defeated without having found serenity.

What I would give to see you and forget it all!

This absence, so massive, so lasting, so deep,

That shatters my reason into pieces—

This absence, stripped of doubts and shadows,

Stabs me with your love.

This absence that aches in the soul's core,

That burns within my dream and my calm—

This absence cries out to me that life is ending

Because you won't return, and your leave bleeds me.

And the remembrance of you makes my heart tremble!

How can I forget you if I don't want to?!

For God's sake! My love, without you I die.

This absence of ice, of stone and silence,

That slices the hours mercilessly—

This infinite absence of nights and days

Has no end.

It was so easy to say that a "goodbye" would heal

The thorns impaled in your soul and mine.

This absence cries out to me that life is ending

Because you won't return. . .

(Won't) return. . .

(Won't) return. . .
