Se acabó. Me marcho de aquí, recuperando una canción que escuchaba ya en la minicadena de mi habitación en Requena, esa que ha capturado tantos sueños y le ha puesto banda sonora a tantísimos atardeceres. The parting glass. El vaso de despedida.
Y cuando la escucho, siento que el viento de este norte me desordena el pelo y me lo pone delante de la cara. Pero el frío que siento ya no me corta los labios, sino que crea enormes bolsas de aire bajo mis brazos e impulsa mis alas.
No sé qué vendrá por delante, y no sé si quiera si funcionarán mis planes. Pero hoy, hoy que es el día, fill to me the parting glass and drink a health whate’er befalls, and gently rise and softly call. Buenas noches y felicidad para todos vosotros.
Me marcho de Albión.
Me voy a casa.
Of all the money that e'er I had
I spent it in good company
And all the harm I've ever done
Alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To mem'ry now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be to you all
Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They'd wish me one more day to stay
But since it fell unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate’er befalls
And gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
Good night and joy be to you all.

And gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
Good night and joy be to you all.
