Just Two Strangers
Translation Jordana del Feld
Como Dos Extraños
Pedro Laurenz y José María Contursi, 1940
I was terrified of being alone
I was terrified of dying far from you
Everyday life mocked me
And made me want to cry.
My heart begged me
To search for you and to tell you my love
My heart begged me
So I searched for you
And I believed you would save me.
And now here I am, right in front of you
And now we're just two strangers.
And now I know:
Time changes everything.
It's so hard to admit
That hope and faith are dead.
I hope you'll excuse my tears;
These memories do me wrong.
The sunlight paled
When it heard you sound so cold
Our love was unique to us
And I grieve to admit
That it's all really over.
It was such a huge mistake,
Going back to see you
Carrying my heart with me in little tiny pieces!
Now a thousand ghosts taunt me
Throwing hours of that dead past at my head.
And now here I am, right in front of you
And now we're just two strangers.
And now I know:
Time changes everything.
It's so hard to admit
That hope and faith are dead.
I hope you'll excuse my tears;
These memories do me wrong.
