Amsterdam, the first of June 1992Ámsterdam, primero de junio de 1992

Dear Eric,Querido Eric,

yesterday evening I came home lateanoche llegué tarde a casa

And I went to the shelf with the videotapesY fui a la estantería con las cintas de video

I saw the tape of Geneva, March 31. 1984Vi la cinta de Ginebra, 31 de marzo de 1984

The day we went to the fountainEl día que fuimos a la fuente

Flavia, you and meFlavia, tú y yo

It's a circle of womenEs un círculo de mujeres

With names that ended with an ACon nombres que terminaban con una A

They went awaySe fueron

They went awaySe fueron

Remember, you said you wantedRecuerda, dijiste que querías

A photograph of the four of usUna fotografía de los cuatro

We watched the fountain and we walked in GenevaVimos la fuente y caminamos en Ginebra

Around the Russian church with the golden onionsAlrededor de la iglesia rusa con las cúpulas doradas

We saw a guitar in the windowVimos una guitarra en la ventana

It was greatEra genial

Like a Picasso paintingComo una pintura de Picasso

It's a circle of womenEs un círculo de mujeres

With names that ended with an ACon nombres que terminaban con una A

They went awaySe fueron

They went awaySe fueron

Now frame by frameAhora cuadro por cuadro

The water fell from the fountainEl agua caía de la fuente

Today your necklace is brokenHoy tu collar está roto

The string of pearls, gallery of portraitsLa cadena de perlas, galería de retratos

The women that ended with an ALas mujeres que terminaban con una A

The frozen moment of a summers dayEl momento congelado de un día de verano

It was a circle of womenEra un círculo de mujeres

With names that ended with an ACon nombres que terminaban con una A

They went awaySe fueron

That's ending on YEso termina en Y
