Lyrics

Español

No debí pensar jamás en lograr tu corazón y sin embargo te busqué hasta que un día te encontré y con mis besos te aturdí sin importarme que eras buena... Tu ilusión fue de cristal, se rompió cuando partí pues nunca, nunca más volví… ¡Qué amarga fue tu pena! No te olvides de mí, de tu Gricel, me dijiste al besar el Cristo aquel y hoy que vivo enloquecido porque no te olvidé ni te acuerdas de mí... ¡Gricel! ¡Gricel! Me faltó después tu voz y el calor de tu mirar y como un loco te busqué pero ya nunca te encontré y en otros besos me aturdí… ¡Mi vida toda fue un engaño! ¿Qué será, Gricel, de mí? Se cumplió la ley de Dios porque sus culpas ya pagó quien te hizo tanto daño.

English · machine translation

I should never have thought of getting your heart and yet I searched for you until one day I found you and with my kisses I stunned you without caring that you were good... Your illusion was made of glass, it shattered when I left because I never, never came back... How bitter was your sorrow! Don't forget me, of your Gricel, you told me when you kissed that Christ and today I live in madness because I did not forget you nor do you remember me... Gricel! Gricel! Then I missed your voice and the warmth of your gaze and like a madman I searched for you but I never found you and in other kisses I was dazed... My whole life was a deception! What will become of me, Gricel? God's law is fulfilled because he has already paid for his sins who hurt you so much.
