LIVING AND DREAMING (Vida y Sueños)
Lyrics by Alfredo E. Estevez
translation by Jason Kotynski

Living, dreaming
Together and a love authentic
it’s true that I am just a little older
but like a juvenile I’m getting bolder

Years, hours
the building blocks of days that are before us
the beating of a bloody heart bisected
still fighting back against the cold and silence

I’m waiting by the phone that isn’t ringing
while candle light gives way to cricket singing
and in a glass of wine I see things clearly the first time
I slap myself awake
and face this cruel world

Oh why was I so happy there with you then
that now I can’t stop worrying and drinking
Oh why must I regret it all the
sacred and the sweet enthralling
moments that we shared together

Lonely, lonely
we wander through this life as though we’re senseless
and left adrift, we sail without a harbor
in paper ships that separate us farther

We’re beaching in muddy shores like two whales
And also that things wouldn’t get too steel
Subjected and obsessed without so pleasing
We let us go away without good reason.

Lonely, lonely
deprived of care and comfort from the other
we’re diligently waiting for the day that
will bring us together, forever.
Living, dreaming… Lonely, lonely…
