Lyrics
Español
La noche que en el baile tus ojos brujos se me clavaron, algo sentí en mi alma y amores nuevos me acariciaron. Con tu antifaz cubrías tus ojos que reían, luego quedé muy triste cuando te fuiste sin un adiós. Quién será, quién será, me pregunto sin cesar. Ilusión que te perdiste y que un día volverás. Quién será, quién será dónde estás mi corazón, que te busco entre las sombras y te llevo en mi canción. No sé por qué los vientos me traen siempre nostalgia y pena. Voces como lamentos, murmullos tristes, como la quena. Por tu recuerdo vivo, con tu recuerdo muero, y en medio de esta angustia mi amor te espera, por qué vendrás.
English · machine translation
The night that at the ball your witchy eyes pierced me, I felt something in my soul and new loves caressed me. With your mask you covered your laughing eyes, then I was very sad when you left without a goodbye. Who could it be, who could it be? I ask myself incessantly. Illusion that you lost and that one day you will return. Who will it be, who will it be where are you my heart that I look for you in the shadows and I carry you in my song. I don't know why the winds always bring me nostalgia and sorrow. Voices like laments, sad murmurs, like the quena. For your memory I live, with your memory I die, and in the midst of this anguish my love waits for you, why will you come.
