Brother( song by carlos varela- una palabra

Brother

“Una palabra no dice nada”
One word, one word to describe my feeling about all of this.
Regret.
I had found a brother in you, a friend, someone to look after, and one who would look after me.
A friendship I thought everlasting now lies in the same graveyard as the rest.
“y al mismo tiempo lo esconde todo”
But what can it hide, the same I feel for everything I’ve done?
The sadness that overcomes me when I think about that past.
How could I have lost something meaning so much for me
“igual que el viento que esconde el agua
como las flores que esconde el lodo.”
I tried to hide the loss with people from my own past,
Yet somehow they all came up short to the task at hand.

“Una mirada no dice nada
y al mismo tiempo lo dice todo
como la lluvia sobre tu cara
o el viejo mapa de algun tesoro.”

“Una verdad no dice nada
y al mismo tiempo lo esconde todo”
The truth that so many have taken as their own,
The truth that nobody seems to know,
The reminiscing of the times I had let go.
“como una hoguera que no se apaga
como una piedra que nace polvo.”
How could I have destroyed such a bond between brothers,
How could I have overlooked the harm I did to others.

“Si un dia me faltas no sere nada
y al mismo tiempo lo sere todo”
And as my thoughts linger inside,
That same old mistake I’ve done so many times.
And yet I know that not even with time,
I’ll get past the fact I’ve lost a brother of mine.
“porque en tus ojos estan mis alas
y esta la orilla donde me ahogo,
porque en tus ojos estan mis alas
y esta la orilla donde me ahogo.”
And as these days,
I watch pass by,
I’ll always think,
Of that friendship that died,
That one person I saw like me,
Whose words seemed to hold more truth than these.
To a brother lost,
Yet never forgotten,
I miss you man.
