Cuando escuché The Light por primera vez no sé qué pasó, la verdad no recuerdo pero estoy bastante segura que el sentimiento que tengo cada vez que la escucho surgió en la primera o segunda escucha. Es una canción muy íntima para mí y, creo que no puedo escucharla sin llorar, pero amo escucharla. De verdad que sí. Es de las canciones perfectas que existen, las que encajan perfectamente. No sé si dirigir lo que experimento cuando la escucho hacia él, o si hacerlo hacia todos. I'll figure it out.
The light was shining in my eyes before I closed them Recuerdo que tomé una siesta el último día que te vi vivo, si vivo es la palabra, en la silla reclinable que tanto te gustaba cuando aún podías hablar. Era por la tarde, creo, estaba cansada, no sé de qué, en esos días lo único que hacía era dormir.
And all the dreams I had the night before came back Como vos (aún no sé si tratarte de vos, tú o usted, nunca supe) en los sueños, que sos tan recurrente. Siempre con el mismo esquema, no has muerto, todo fue fingido y ya vas a volver.
The faces that I'd seen looked so familiar En mis sueños confundo a las personas, intercambian rostros. Menos vos.
But they're just strangers, I haven't met them yet La mayoría de veces los reconozco porque sé quiénes son, pero no por cómo se ven.
I know the morning is wiser than the evening Fue mucho más sabio morir en la mañana, la verdad no esperaba otra cosa viniendo de vos. Siempre te gustó madrugar. Madrugar un sábado es algo tuyo.
I know that wrong and right can sometimes look the same Debí haber ido. No fui porque pensé que no importaría, que de verdad necesitaba recuperarme. No había dormido nada y, me pareció correcto quedarme.
So many things I know, but they don't help me Yo sé que es una enfermedad. Yo sé cuáles son los caminos hacia la remisión. Sé cuáles medicinas me sirven. Sé qué sucede en una terapia. Sé las probabilidades. Pero siempre retorno a este punto.
Each day I open up my eyes and start again Sin embargo, no me rindo, no me puedo rendir, estoy segura que no querías que me rindiera.
The light comes shining in my eyes
The light comes shining in my eyes
The light comes shining in my eyes
The light comes shining in my eyes Cuando me despierto, la luz duele mucho, literalmente, pero ese dolor es como una bocanada de aire necesaria para despertarme.
So many stories I want to tell you I dyed my hair white! I got tattoos! I went places where you worked! There is so many things that I'd like you to know, I can't even begin.
I wish that I could show you the many things I've seen I like to take pictures of animals and plants. You would like to see that. I saw some guaguas, I bet you'd get a laugh of that.
You and your daddy, you both look like poets These are the lyrics that struck me harder. Because you and your dad not only look like poets, you guys were poets and, I keep on remembering that you told me he was always barefoot, so I picture him with a hat and his feet all dirty bossing you around but in a loving way. You both reciting poetry at sundown, with the crickets as white noise.
Your eyes are open wide while you are in a dream The last moments you were alive, you were looking at nothing. And I always hated eyes that aren't brown but yours were the loveliest eyes I've ever seen. This weird green yellowish gray shade that looked like a calm pond in the middle of a forest. And they were wide open, but you weren't there, you were with your mom I guess, or dreaming about my brother and me, when we were children.
I know the morning is wiser than the nighttime Do you remember when we couldn't sleep so we made coffee and chat? It feels like all of the times that that happened melted in one memory, of us, seating at the dinner table, while the birds were singing, and my mom and brother were sleeping. It was just us and the morning.
I know there's nothing wrong, I shouldn't feel so down I'm sorry I didn't do enough. I wish I could have loved you more. I love you so much.
So many things I know, but they don't help me I know it's because you are gone, but that doesn't change anything.
Each day I open up my eyes to look around And you are not there. Just once I wish you were. To know that you are only alive in my dreams is fucking me up.
The sun comes shining in my eyes
The sun comes shining in my eyes
The sun comes shining in my eyes
The sun comes shining in my eyes I really hate to wake up
Are closed now So I try to sleep and it doesn't work. I don't want to get my hopes up again.
Count the stars inside your mind And slowly I fade.
Count the breaths, count heartbeats Every movement is a lullaby.
Count the sounds of life And then I hear your voice. I'm dreaming again dad. Why do you tell me that you are coming back?
The light was shining in my eyes before I closed them El lugar donde fue el velorio tenía tantas luces. Tuve migraña todo el tiempo. Sólo quería dormir.
And all the dreams I had the night before were gone Todos los días anteriores tuve pesadillas. Recuerdo eso porque recuerdo que me daba miedo dormir. Pero ya no sé ni siquiera qué soñaba. Ahora las peores pesadillas parecen sueños mientras suceden.
The faces that I'd seen looked so familiar La habitación estaba llena de gente que conocía. Eran nuestras familia, pero realmente no sabía quiénes eran.
But I forgot them all when I saw the sun Esa noche dormí fácilmente. Pero todo fue fugaz. Me acuerdo que me acosté y cuando abrí los ojos de nuevo ya habían pasado horas.
I know the morning is wiser than the evening Cuando íbamos para donde estaba tu cuerpo, el carro se varó y salí de él y la luz era ensordecedora.
I know that all of life just happens in between Like that night of sleep, where I close and open my eyes and many hours happened but to me was seconds, was it like that? Your life? I feel it went too fast. I needed more time with you. It's not fair because I was the one who got the less time with you. It's really unfair.
So many things I know, but they don't help me What's the point of knowing all of it if you aren't coming back?
Each day I open up my eyes and it begins Without you.
The light comes shining in my eyes
The light comes shining in my eyes
The light comes shining in my eyes
The light comes shining in my eyes So help me out with this one: I hate the light but I'm afraid of the darkness.
The light, the light, the light, the light
The light, the light You are my light. You were.
