Lyrics

Español

Te forjé con mis sueños en flor tal vez me equivoqué... pero eso es el amor... No debía creerte y te creía la máscara vacía... vacío el corazón. Lloras... lástima de llanto sin dolor, dado en pago de este amor... de este amor desesperado y equivocado, como yo... Vieja historia repetida, por los sueños juveniles, qué momento te dio vida la cajita de buriles... que me hundiste en la caída. Hielo seco... de tu amor que me ha quemado verso inútil, fruto hueco, fuiste un eco sin pasado... vieja historia repetida del amor de Pigmalión. Yo no sé si fue azar o qué fue, lo cierto es que te amé y allí nació el adiós... y por eso me acosa noche y día tú máscara vacía de arcilla sin color... Lejos, donde está el fracaso del amor, te ajarás como una flor, pobrecita, abandonada y equivocada como yo…

English · machine translation

I forged you with my dreams in bloom maybe I was wrong... but that's what love is... I shouldn't have believed you and I believed you the empty mask... empty the heart. You cry... pity of weeping without pain.., given in payment for this love... of this desperate and wrong, like me... Old history repeated, by youthful dreams, what moment gave you life the little box of burins... that you plunged me in the fall. Dry ice... of your love that burned me useless verse, hollow fruit, you were an echo without a past... old story repeated of Pygmalion's love. I don't know if it was chance or what it was, what is certain is that I loved you and there the goodbye was born... and that's why I'm haunted night and day your empty mask of colorless clay... Far away, where the failure of love is.., you will fade like a flower, poor thing, abandoned and mistaken like me...
