Lyrics
Español
Cuántas veces por vos, he llegado a mentir en el nombre de Dios. ¿No me viste callar, con un gesto feroz, por temor a gritar? No te quedes un minuto más, que mi vida ya no tiene paz. Pero al verte partir, con horror te abracé por temor a morir. ¡Cuánta angustia! ¡Cuánta pena! Todo duele, todo quema... Y quema más y más y duele más la nieve de tu carne de azucena. ¡Cuánta angustia! ¡Cuánto espanto! Es vivir, queriendo tanto. Cuando la vida, nos deja entre los brazos un mísero retazo, de compasión. En mis horas sin Dios, las rodillas doblé, y recé por los dos. Fui pequeño, lo sé, como un alma sin luz que no sueña ni ve. ¡He jugado corazón! Perdí, y la vida se negó total. Hoy que debo pagar ni me pongo a correr, ni me inclino a rezar.

How many times for you, I have come to lie in the name of God. Didn't you see me shut up, with a fierce gesture, for fear of shouting? Don't stay a minute longer, for my life has no more peace. But as I watched you go with horror I embraced you for fear of dying. How much anguish! How much sorrow! Everything hurts, everything burns.... And it burns more and more and hurts more and more the snow of your lily flesh. How much anguish! How much fear! It is to live, loving so much. When life leaves us in its arms a miserable scrap of compassion, of compassion. In my hours without God I bent my knees, and prayed for both of us. I was small, I know, like a soul without light that neither dreams nor sees. I played my heart out! I lost, and life refused total. Today that I must pay nor do I run, nor bow down to pray.
