In the twilight of his life, he clings to his youth
and eagerly searches for the love that will give him fulfillment.
But he finds only failures that plunge him into loneliness and make him lose hope of finding happiness.
One day, at last, he meets someone who makes him vibrate
and who shares his tastes and his way of thinking.
Without a second thought, he offers him his heart
and sets out to build a deep relationship.
At the beginning, everything is wonderful, like a dream come true
and they feel each other as their ideal better half.
But soon, reality hits them hard and they begin to come to the surface
and the cracks in their beauty begin to show.
The flaws that had been left unsaid, the lies that had been concealed, and the disappointment that had been generated by the realization that they were not what was expected.
He feels immersed in chaos, not knowing what to do or what to say, and he desperately seeks to save what he has lost and desperately seeks to save what is left of his love, without giving up or leaving.
But nothing he does works, nothing seems to improve, and his partner doesn't listen to him, doesn't listen to him.
and his partner doesn't listen to him, doesn't understand him, doesn't want to help him.
Sadness rises to the sky and becomes a black cloud that darkens his longing.
And so the days go by trying to fix
and nothing is tidied up, nothing is cleared up, nothing goes back to its place.
He feels as he did at the beginning, alone, but this time accompanied by a love that has withered, of a dream that has broken.

Españól
En el ocaso de su vida, él se aferra a la juventud
y busca con afán el amor que le dé plenitud.
Pero solo encuentra fracasos que le hunden en la soledad
y le hacen perder la esperanza de hallar la felicidad.
Un día, por fin, conoce a alguien que le hace vibrar
y que comparte sus gustos y su forma de pensar.
Sin pensarlo dos veces, le ofrece su corazón
y se lanza a construir una profunda relación.
Al principio, todo es maravilloso, como un sueño hecho realidad
y se sienten el uno al otro como su media naranja ideal.
Pero pronto, la realidad les golpea con crudeza
y empiezan a salir a la luz las grietas de su belleza.
Los defectos que no se habían dicho, las mentiras que se habían ocultado
y la decepción que se había generado al ver que no eran lo esperado.
Él se siente sumergido en el caos, sin saber qué hacer ni qué decir
y busca con desespero salvar lo que queda de su amor, sin rendirse ni partir.
Pero nada de lo que hace funciona, nada parece mejorar
y su pareja no le escucha, no le entiende, no le quiere ayudar.
La tristeza se eleva hasta el cielo
y se convierte en una nube negra que le oscurece el anhelo.
Y así pasan los días intentando arreglar
y nada se ordena, nada se aclara, nada vuelve a su lugar.
Se siente como al principio, solo, pero esta vez acompañado
de un amor que se ha marchitado, de un sueño que se ha quebrado.
