Militancy Day 2022

The "return" of CFK....

I foresee the flickering of the lights
That in the distance are marking my return
They are the same ones that illuminated
With their pale reflections intense hours of pain
And although I did not want to return
One always returns to the first love.

The old street where the echo said
"Yours is the life, yours is the want."
Under the mocking gaze of the stars
Who with indifference today see me return.

Return....with withered forehead
The snows of time silvered my temple
Feel....that life is a breath
That 20 years is nothing, that my feverish gaze
Wandering in the shadows, looks for you and names you
Living....with my soul clinging
To a sweet memory that I weep again....


Tango "Volver" ("Return") first sung by Carlos Gardel in 1935. Music by Carlos Gardel and Lyrics by Alfredo Le Pera.
