Lyrics
Español
Soy como una mueca de dolor, trunca en la maquieta de tu amor, para vos, sin flores y sin nidos, sueños que se han roto que se han ido. Saña terca y ruda de saber, cosas que ya nunca han de volver, fragua de pasiones encendidas que tu boca prometía y tu mano me escribió. Hoy tus cartas quemé y con ellas quemaba mi vida. Y al crujir del papel, entre lenguas de fuego, reías. Y tu risa mordaz, humo y llanto de amores mentidos. Sólo fue feliz aquel “te quiero”, que entre lenguas de fuego, se moría de frío. Sólo fue feliz el juramento, que en la cruz de los vientos, tus palabras llevó. Hoy tus cartas quemé y con ellas quemé el corazón. Soy como un viajero que al azar busca algún rincón para olvidar. Voy dejando atrás lo que he perdido, solo voy sin brújula y sin nido. Vida que me diste la ilusión, migas que me dio tu compasión. Yo que hasta la sangre de mis venas te ofrendaba en la condena que tu boca me juró. Hoy tus cartas quemé y con ellas quemé el corazón.
English · machine translation
I am like a grimace of pain, truncated in the machine of your love, for you, without flowers and without nests, dreams that have been broken that are gone. Stubborn and rude sullenness of knowing, things that will never come back, forge of burning passions that your mouth promised and your hand wrote me. Today I burned your letters and with them I burned my life. And at the rustling of the paper between tongues of fire, you laughed. And your biting laughter smoke and weeping of lied loves. Only that "I love you" was happy, that among tongues of fire, died of cold. Only the oath was happy, that on the cross of the winds, your words carried. Today I burned your letters and with them I burned my heart. I am like a traveler who at random seeks some corner to forget. I'm leaving behind what I've lost, I go alone without a compass and without a nest. Life that gave me the illusion, crumbs that gave me your compassion. I who even the blood in my veins I offered you in the condemnation that your mouth swore to me. Today I burned your letters and with them I burned my heart.
