Apologies in advance, since I am translating this song, close to real time:
Here goes...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIu2iZnKU40I let loose this song,
for you, Lucía,
the most beautiful love song
I've had, or will have,
It is a love letter
carried by the wind
painted by my voice
to nowhere,
to no mailbox.
There's nothing more beautiful,
than what I never had.
Nothing more beloved
than what I lost.
Forgive me,
if I search now,
in the sands of time
for that full moon,
that scratched the sea....
If I once was a bird of passage,
I lost my way, nesting in your arms
If once I was beautiful, or good,
I was nestled in your breasts and neck then.
If once I knew love,
I learned it from your singing lips.
If even once I loved,
If even once, after loving, still loved,
it was for your love, Lucía.
Lucía...
Your memory is,
every day sweeter,
oblivion took, only half,
and your shadow still
lies in my bed
between my pillow
and my solitude.
