Lyrics
Español
Quisiera abrir lentamente mis venas... Mi sangre toda vertirla a tus pies... para poderte demostrar que más no puedo amar y entonces... Morir después. Y sin embargo tus ojos azules, ¡azul que tienen el cielo y el mar! viven cerrados para mí sin ver que estoy así... ¡Perdido en mi soledad! ¡Sombras, nada más, acariciando mis manos! ¡Sombras, nada más, en el temblor de mi voz! Pude ser feliz y estoy en vida muriendo y entre lágrimas viviendo los pasajes más horrendos de este drama sin final... ¡Sombras, nada más, entre tu vida y mi vida... Sombras, nada más, entre mi amor y tu amor! Qué breve fue tu presencia en mi hastío, qué tibias fueron tu mano y tu voz. Como luciérnaga llegó tu luz y disipó las sombras de mi rincón... Y me quedé como un duende, temblando sin el azul de tus ojos de mar, que se han cerrado para mí sin ver que estoy así... ¡Perdido en mi soledad!
English · machine translation
I would like to slowly open my veins... My blood all poured out at your feet... so that I can prove to you that I can't love any more and then... To die afterwards. And yet your blue eyes, blue as the sky and the sea! live closed for me without seeing that I am like this... Lost in my loneliness! Shadows, nothing more, caressing my hands! Shadows, nothing more, in the trembling of my voice! I could have been happy and I am in life dying and in tears living the most horrendous passages of this drama without end... Shadows, nothing more, between your life and my life... Shadows, nothing more, between my love and your love! How brief was your presence in my boredom, how lukewarm were your hand and your voice. Like a firefly your light your light came and dissipated the shadows of my corner... And I was left like an elf, trembling without the blue of your sea eyes that have closed for me without seeing that I am like this... Lost in my solitude!
