Lyrics

These are the song’s words. This take is instrumental.

Español

Ya me voy para los campos que añoro a buscar yerba de olvido y dejarte, a ver si con esta ausencia pudiera en relación a otro tiempo olvidarte, a ver si con esta ausencia pudiera en relación a otro tiempo olvidarte. He vivido tolerando martirios, y jamás pienso mostrarme cobarde, arrastrando una cadena tan fuerte hasta que mi triste vida, se acabe, arrastrando una cadena tan fuerte hasta que mi triste vida, se acabe. Cuando le he enseñado al tiempo mis penas no hay mal que por bien no venga, aunque escarche cuando no haya tierra, ni agua, ni cielo se acabarán mis tormentos cobardes, cuando no haya tierra, ni agua, ni cielo se acabarán mis tormentos cobardes.

English · machine translation

I'm leaving for the fields I long for to look for the grass of oblivion and leave you, to see if with this absence I could in relation to another time to forget you, to see if with this absence I could in relation to another time to forget you. I have lived tolerating martyrdom, and I will never show myself a coward, dragging such a strong chain until my sad life is over, dragging such a strong chain until my sad life is over. When I've taught time my sorrows there's no evil for good, even if it scarifies when there's no earth, no water, no sky my cowardly torments will be over, when there's no earth, no water, no sky my cowardly torments will be over.
