Lyrics

Español

Fueron tus palabras la canción de mi esperanza y en tus tibias manos se durmió mi corazón. Era tan feliz y fue tan ciega mi confianza, que jamás la duda vino a mi razón. Pero hoy solo siento que tus lágrimas me queman y ese llanto impío que me quiere convencer. Es la carcajada de tu voz, que me condena a vivir siempre engañado en tu querer. ¡No mientas! Que tu boca pecadora se distingue cuando implora sus mentiras al jurar. ¡No mientas! Si en tus ojos he leído que tu amor ya me he perdido y es inútil suplicar. ¡Hablame! La verdad quiero que digas no se mata con intrigas de ese modo un corazón ¡No mientas! Que me amargo al contemplarte y el afán de perdonarte me podría hacer traición. Se que si te apiadas de mi vida que agoniza y en un gesto franco tu interior me dejas ver hallaré las brasas de mi amor hechas cenizas, mas nada me importa si así debe ser. Solo quiero verte con el alma descubierta, afrontando todo por tener sinceridad Para que al marcharme con mis pobre flores muertas, lleve al menos de tus labios la verdad.

English · machine translation

Your words were the song of my hope and in your warm hands my heart fell asleep. I was so happy and my trust was so blind, that doubt never came into my reason. But today I only feel that your tears burn me and that unholy cry that wants to convince me. It is the laughter of your voice, which condemns me to live always deceived in your love. Do not lie! That your sinful mouth distinguishes itself when it implores your lies when you swear. Do not lie! If in your eyes I have read that I have already lost your love and it is useless to beg. Speak to me! The truth I want you to tell you don't kill with intrigues that way a heart Don't lie! That I become bitter when I contemplate you and the eagerness to forgive you could make me treason. I know that if you take pity on my agonizing life and in a frank gesture you let me see your inner self I will find the embers of my love in ashes, but I don't care if that's the way it should be. I just want to see you with my soul uncovered, facing everything to have sincerity So that when I leave with my poor dead flowers, I'll take at least from your lips the truth.
