The D’Arienzo Paciencia/ Patience
lyrics by Francisco Gorrindo
music by Juan D’Arienzo
Last night, my eyes fell on you again;
last night, I had you at my side again.
Why should I have seen you if, after everything,
we were two strangers looking into the past!
You’re not the same, nor am I the same…
Years! Life! Who knows what else…
Once and for all, better to be frank:
you and I cannot go back to yesterday.
Patience,
life is like this:
out of pure ego, we tried to get together
and now those same egos reveal how different we are–
why should we pretend otherwise?
Patience,
life is like this:
Neither of us is to blame, if there’s any blame to go around.
That’s why the hand that you clasped in silence
did not tremble when I left.
Let’s pretend that it was all a dream
that it was a lie that we searched for each other;
that way, happily, we’ve still got the consolation
of believing that we haven’t changed.
I have a picture of you at twenty
when you were the center of my little world.
I want to see you always as lovely as then:
what happened last night was only a dream.
