Volver a Eridani

Llegamos a este lugar hace mucho tiempo, el lugar del Universo al que arriban las almas perdidas como las nuestras. Y hemos vivido y compartido casi todo aquí. Tus hijos, que son mis hijos prefirieron quedarse en la Tierra. Este es un lugar inhóspito, ya lo sé, pero es nuestro hogar.

Impotente, cuántas noches he pasado sentado al lado de tu cama cuando estabas enferma, fuera del tiempo, sin saber cómo recuperarte. Pero te tengo aunque ya no te tengo.

Tú te has ido y yo sigo aquí. Hoy he visitado tu tumba, que es la mía. Ya no estás, pero estás siempre. Ya has muerto pero no has muerto. A pesar de ti y a pesar de mi hay algo que va más allá de los dos. Si volver nos está permitido, volveremos a vernos en este lugar durante toda la eternidad.

Back to Eridani

We arrived at this place a long time ago, the place of the Universe to which the souls lost like ours arrive. And we have lived and shared almost everything here. Your children, who are my children, preferred to stay on Earth. This is a bleak place, I know, but it is our home.

Helpless, how many nights I spent sitting by your bed when you were sick, out of time, not knowing how to recover you. But I have you although I already do not have you.

You’ve gone, but I am still here. Today, I visited your tomb, which is my tomb. You are not here, but you are always here. You are already dead, but you are not dead. In spite of you and in spite of me, there is something that goes beyond the two. If we are allowed to return, let us meet again in this place for all eternity.
