Lyrics

Español

El viento me cuenta cosas, aprovechando el silencio. Sabe que sufro de penas que viven en el recuerdo... Sabe que es mucha la angustia cuando uno se sabe muerto. Y el viento me cuenta cosas, aprovechando el silencio. Soledad de hallarme solo... ¡Soledad de tanto tiempo! Tener los ojos cansados y el alma y el pensamiento... Querer olvidar sus ojos, sus caricias y su aliento. ¡Y el viento me cuenta cosas, aprovechando el silencio! No sé si será el cansancio, o mis achaques de viejo, que me tiemblan las ideas arrinconadas de miedo... Tengo los ojos cansados y el alma y el pensamiento. ¡Y el viento me cuenta cosas, aprovechando el silencio!

English · machine translation

The wind tells me things, taking advantage of the silence. It knows that I suffer from sorrows that live in the memory... It knows that the anguish is great when you know you are dead. And the wind tells me things, taking advantage of the silence. Loneliness of being alone... Loneliness of so much time! To have tired eyes and the soul and the thought... Wanting to forget her eyes, her caresses and her breath. And the wind tells me things, taking advantage of the silence! I don't know if it's tiredness or my old age ailments, that my ideas tremble cornered with fear... My eyes are tired and my soul and my thoughts. And the wind tells me things, taking advantage of the silence!
