Lyrics

Español

Ella me ha sepultado en un vacío frío, de noche gris y sin estrellas. Y quedé como un árbol sin flor, tarde sin luz, campo sin sol... Ella era un descanso en mi camino, vino para volver mis horas bellas. Pero al fin me envolvió la noche con su cerrazón... ¡y la perdí! Nunca... se alegró mi vida trunca y en mis horas desoladas ya nada podrá mis lágrimas secar. Con las alas destrozadas se perdieron mis sueños de cristal. Nunca... volverás, yo sé que nunca y al final de mi jornada cuando nada exista ya... me llamarás. Sombra que se diluye en el hastío frío de mi palabra que te nombra. Y he quedado tan triste sin ti, loco sin ti... muerto sin ti. Ella tuvo en sus manos mi destino, vino para volver mis horas bellas... Pero al fin pudo más la angustia de mi soledad... ¡y la perdí!

English · machine translation

She has buried me in a void cold, gray and starless night. And I was left like a tree without a flower, afternoon without light, field without sun... She was a rest on my path, She came to turn my beautiful hours. But at last the night enveloped me with its closed mind... and I lost her! Never... did my truncated life rejoice and in my desolate hours nothing can dry my tears. With shattered wings my crystal dreams were lost. You'll never... come back, I know you'll never come back And at the end of my journey when nothing exists anymore... you will call me. Shadow that is diluted in the boredom cold of my word that names you. And I have been so sad without you, mad without you... dead without you. She held my destiny in her hands, she came to turn my beautiful hours... But in the end the anguish of my loneliness of my loneliness... and I lost her!
