Lyrics

Español

Yo también soñé cuentos de ilusión, desde mi niñez, y fue un sueño azul el que me engañó en mi juventud. Yo soñé un amor, yo sentí el calor de un cariño fiel. Los tesoros que forjé locamente derroché y entre sueños fui feliz, al calor de esas caricias que después no conocí. Es más amargo el despertar cuanto más tierno fue el amor del sueño; una mano de hierro nos llama a la realidad y los sueños se cambian en miserias y maldad. Yo quisiera soñar y dormir de una vez para no despertar. Hoy perdida ya ilusión y fe, la vi aparecer linda como un sol. Me miró al pasar, por mi soledad, se acercó hasta mi y escuché su voz hablando de amor. Mi esperanza renació y hoy que me siento feliz tengo miedo de soñar, porque si esto fuera un sueño no podría ya vivir.

English · machine translation

I also dreamed tales of illusion, since my childhood, and it was a blue dream that deceived me in my youth. I dreamed a love, I felt the warmth of a faithful affection. The treasures I forged I madly squandered and among dreams I was happy, in the warmth of those caresses that later I never knew. The more bitter the awakening the more tender was the love of the dream; an iron hand calls us back to reality and dreams are changed into misery and evil. I would like to dream and sleep at once so as not to wake up. Today already lost illusion and faith, I saw her appear as beautiful as the sun. She looked at me as I passed by, by my loneliness, she approached me and I heard her voice speaking of love. My hope was reborn and today that I feel happy I'm afraid to dream, because if this were a dream I could no longer live.
