Si estuvieras aquí
no tendría que imaginar tus envejecidas manos,
tocando mi rostro,
tendría a alguien más que me ayudaría a superar
los tropiezos que puedo tener.
Si estuvieras aquí contaría con tus tiernos abrazos,
que refrescan mi alma un poco rota y cansada,
vería en tus ojos la compasión y el amor que
solo tu presencia me brindaba.
Si estuvieras aquí escucharía tus canciones oportunas y adecuadas para sobrellevar
los altos y bajos que nos toca superar
en esta vida que nos hace soltar unas cuantas lágrimas.
Si estuvieras aquí, miraría tu rostro
que me inspira tanta ternura, tanta bondad
tanta calma, siendo honesta no fue suficiente tiempo
para tenerte aquí.
Si estuvieras aquí, escucharía tus historias repetidas,
con el mismo gusto con el que las escuché por primera vez, porque me recordaría la guerrera que fuiste.
Si estuvieras aquí, te diría lo bien que me va,
las carcajadas que solté, las lágrimas que boté,
como era mi costumbre te haría saber lo importante
que eres para mí.
Si estuvieras aquí, te diría lo difícil
que es no llorar al saber que tu siempre
estabas ahí y ahora te tengo que recordar,
imaginar y hacer que tu memoria quede grabada en el corazón de alguien más.
Si estuvieras aquí, te diría que aunque pierda la noción de los días, los meses y las semanas que han transcurrido sin tí, jamás olvidaré el dolor que
tu ausencia dejo en mi ser.
Si estuvieras aquí, te haría saber
que te llevo conmigo en cada momento importante,
Si estuvieras aquí te diría que te amo con toda mi alma y que gracias a Dios he podido salir adelante,
a pesar de que ahora solo me queda recordarte.
I wouldn't have to imagine your aged hands,
touching my face,
I'd have someone else to help me get over
the stumbles I may have.
If you were here I would count on your tender hugs,
that refresh my soul a little broken and tired,
I would see in your eyes the compassion and the love that
only your presence could give me.
If you were here, I would listen to your timely and appropriate songs to get through
the highs and lows that we have to overcome
in this life that makes us shed a few tears.
If you were here, I would look at your face
that inspires me with so much tenderness, so much goodness
so calm, being honest it was not enough time to have you here.
to have you here.
If you were here, I would listen to your stories on repeat,
with the same pleasure with which I heard them for the first time, because it would remind me of the warrior you were.
If you were here, I would tell you how well I am doing,
the laughs I let out, the tears I shed,
as was my custom I'd let you know how important
you are to me.
If you were here, I'd tell you how hard it is
it is not to cry knowing that you were always
you were always there and now I have to remember you,
imagine and have your memory engraved in someone else's heart.
If you were here, I would tell you that even if I lose track of the days, months and weeks that have passed without you, I will never forget the pain that your absence left in my being.
your absence left in my being.
If you were here, I would let you know that I carry you with me in every important moment,
If you were here, I would tell you that I love you with all my soul and that thanks to God I have been able to move forward,
even though now I only have to remember you.
