    Juan Manuel Roca

    Side by side

    Days as needles

    I’m so lonely, love, that to my room
    Only the old creaking stairs
    Head up, step after step.

    Días como agujas

    Días como agujas

    Estoy tan solo, amor, que a mi cuarto
    Sólo sube, peldaño tras peldaño,
    La vieja escalera que traquea.

    Days as needles

    I’m so lonely, love, that to my room
