The Optimist from Cosmovisión by Half Gringa

I am just a small cry in the wide world
Wisdom came from northern winds and
Others decide this won’t be a long life
But the living do what they must to hide
And I’ll sleep in the safety of the petrified

Would you believe me if I told you
I’m caught up on everything
Reconciliation comes to the ones who hold on
Creation halts and earth is barren
Trawling waters that you never swam in, it’s wrong
I am looking for an answer but they are thin on the ground
Not in the clouds
Not yet

Me entenderías Would you understand me
¿entenderías que puedo ver? Would you understand that I can see?
casi nos fuimos We nearly left
hicimos las mismas We did the same things
cosas que vimos años antes, dolorosos Painful things we saw years before
En aire mal In the wrong context
Tal vez al final veré Maybe in the end I will see

Would you believe me
Would you believe me if I saw you again
I would try leaving
If I could see you

Me entenderías Would you understand me
¿entenderías que puedo ver? Would you understand that I can see?
casi nos fuimos We almost left
If I could see you, I would try anything
