PUNCTUAL
I must walk until I’m exhausted
and even though I’m in a hurry
I will not walk any faster
I only must arrive
at the precise moment;
although I keep you waiting
one and a thousand times
although I am late for appointments
and the place is full with your absence
I can only tell you
that I have never been on time
I have always arrived
at the right moment.
PUNTUAL
PUNTUAL
He de caminar hasta el cansancio
y aunque tengo afán
no aligeraré mis pasos
solamente he de llegar
en el momento preciso
aunque te deje esperando
muchas y mil veces
aunque llegue tarde a las citas
y el lugar esté lleno de tu ausencia
solamente te digo
que nunca he cumplido
pero he llegado siempre
en el momento indicado.
