Lejano, lejano [English translation]

Very far, far away in time—

something in the eyes of another

will make you remember my eyes—

those eyes that never forgot you.

And far, far away in the world,

in the smile on the lips of another,

you will think you see my shy smile,

of which you made a bit of fun.

And far, far away in time,

the expression on the face of someone

will make you remember my face—

its sad look that you loved so much.

And far, far away in the world,

one afternoon you will go out with someone—

you will speak to him and suddenly, without thinking,

you will discover that you are looking back on

a love, from this day on, so far away.
