[Verse 1] She lived locked away, her heart silent and in pain. They called her chest ice, which only wanted a little love. But I arrived very gently, like someone who comes to care for her. At the turn of the year, she finally let herself be loved.
[Chorus] And I know, the love of life doesn't come twice It's a rare flame that time doesn't extinguish But I let go of the hands that held my certainties And now she walks... down another road
[Verse 2] We traveled the world in small moments We made the ordinary into eternal instants In her daughter, I saw more than a mirror I saw the future I so desired for myself
But the past hit like an old ghost It brought clouds into our home And I, foolish and silent, hid from the storm I let love suffer without telling the truth
[Chorus] And I know, the love of life doesn't come twice It's a rare flame that time doesn't extinguish But I let go of the hands that held my certainties And now she walks... down another road
[Bridge - arpeggiated and calmer] Today I bring flowers that no one will receive Kept letters that she will no longer read And a heart that still waits to understand...
[Final Verse] She chose to follow, and I accept her path But every sunset reminds me of the affection Of the most sincere love I had the chance to touch And that by mistake... I let slip away
[Final Chorus - softer, voice and arpeggio] And I know, the love of life doesn't come twice It's a rare flame that time doesn't extinguish And even if fate doesn't give us another chance I will still love you... in my redemption...
