Lyrics

Español

Aunque vos pretendas que me aparte de tu senda; aunque me dejes solo, yo siempre te he de amar; aunque por mis celos viva lleno de desvelos pensando que muy pronto de mí te alejarás, igual... igual te adoro, te lloro y te imploro con loco afán. En la tristeza inmensa de mi desolación, los duendes de mi mal me van mordiendo el corazón. Mientras tu inconstancia me acorrala y en mí se clava como un puñal, en las horas tristes de mi insomnio mis pobres ojos no puedo cerrar. De los espejos turbios de mi melancolía, todos nuestros amores surgen de aquellos días... Ronda flotando por el cuarto tu figura, y luego, riendo, te detienes junto a mí para besarme con tu boca misteriosa, tu boca deliciosa, tu beso de carmín. Hasta que me sorprende al fin la madrugada loco de cansancio y sin dormir. Solo... solo y triste porque sé que tú no existes... La noche se hace larga pensando siempre en ti. Y de ansiarte tanto sin querer, me asalta el llanto; un llanto silencioso que brota sin cesar... Un llanto que mis ojos, sin sueño y rojos, no aguantan más. Y en este drama mío yo me hundo sin piedad. Párate, corazón, no abrumes más mi soledad.

English · machine translation

Even if you pretend to turn me from your path; even if you leave me alone, I will always love you; even though because of my jealousy I live full of sleeplessness thinking that very soon you will be far away from me, still... still I adore you, I cry and implore you with mad eagerness. In the immense sadness of my desolation, the goblins of my evil are biting my heart. While your fickleness corners me and it sticks in me like a dagger, in the sad hours of my sleeplessness my poor eyes I cannot close. From the cloudy mirrors of my melancholy, all our loves arise from those days... Floating around the room is your figure, and then, laughing, you stop next to me to kiss me with your mysterious mouth, your delicious mouth, your carmine kiss. Until the dawn surprises me at the end of the night Crazy with tiredness and sleepless. Alone... alone and sad because I know you don't exist... The night is long always thinking of you. And from longing for you so much without wanting to, I'm assaulted by tears; a silent cry that gushes unceasingly... A cry that my eyes sleep deprived and red, can no longer bear. And in this drama of mine I sink without mercy. Stand up, heart, do not overwhelm my loneliness any more.
