Encuentros y despedidas [English translation]

Send news of the world there to the one who is staying

Give me a hug and wait for me, i'm coming.

What i liked the most was leaving,

Finally with any fear,

The best now is coming back whenever i want.

Everyday, like in a sway

People shaking on the station,

Theres people who comes to stay; some others leave to never come back.

theres people who comes, they want to go back; others who leave they want to fight;

Others had come, just to look

Some to laugh, others to cry.

And so...

Come and leave

Just two sides of one same travel

The train that arrives

is the same train that leaves.

The time of the meeting is also a goodbye.

This station platform

Is life of this my place

Its life

Of this place, thats life.
