A summer afternoon session

A happy couple enjoying a piggyback ride outdoors on a sunny day, smiling and embracing each other, with trees in the background.
A young couple sitting on the grass in a park, smiling and embracing each other during sunset with trees in the background.

Cuando tú te quedes muda,
cuando yo me quede ciego,
nos quedarán las manos
y el silencio.

A couple hugging on a wooden bridge surrounded by greenery, with the woman wearing glasses and smiling.
A young couple embracing outdoors during sunset, gazing into each other's eyes, with the sky and trees in the background.

Cuando tú te pongas vieja,
cuando yo me ponga viejo,
nos quedarán los labios y el silencio;

Cuando tú te quedes muerta,
cuando yo me quede muerto,
tendrán que enterrarnos juntos en silencio;

A young couple standing close together on a grassy hill with trees and a partly cloudy sky at sunset in the background.
A young couple sitting on the grass in a park during sunset, smiling and looking at each other, with trees and a cloudy sky in the background.
A young man and woman holding hands and running through a park with lush green grass and trees during golden hour.
A young man and woman holding hands in a grassy park at sunset, with trees in the background.

Y cuando tú resucites,
cuando yo viva de nuevo,
nos volveremos a amar en silencio.

A young couple hugging outdoors at sunset with clouds in the sky and trees in the background.
A young couple sitting on the grass in a park, smiling and looking at each other during sunset.

Y cuando todo se acabe
para siempre en el universo,
será un silencio de amor,
el silencio.”

-Andres Eloy Blanco
