Lyrics
Español
La gente, que es brutal cuando se ensaña, la gente, que es feroz cuando hace un mal, buscó para hacer títeres en su guiñol, la imagen de tu amor y mi esperanza... A mí, ¿qué me importaba tu pasado...? si tu alma entraba pura a un porvenir. Dichoso abrí los brazos a tu afán y con mi amor salimos, de payasos, a vivir. Fue inútil gritar que querías ser buena. Fue estúpido aullar la promesa de tu redención... La gente es brutal y odia siempre al que sueña, lo burla y con risas despeña su intento mejor... Tu historia y mi honor desnudaos en la feria, bailaron su danza de horror, sin compasión... Tu angustia comprendió que era imposible, luchar contra la gente es infernal. Por eso me dejaste sin decirlo, ¡amor!... y fuiste a hundirte al fin en tu destino. Tu vida desde entonces fue un suicidio, vorágine de horrores y de alcohol. Anoche te mataste ya del todo y mi emoción te llora en tu descanso... ¡Corazón! Quisiera que Dios amparara tu sueño. muñeca de amor que no pudo alcanzar su ilusión. Yo quise hacer más pero sólo fue un ansia. Que tu alma perdone a mi vida su esfuerzo mejor. De blanco al morir, llegará tu esperanza, vestida de novia ante Dios... como soñó.
English · machine translation
People, who are brutal when they rage, people, who are fierce when they do wrong, sought to make puppets in their puppet show, the image of your love and my hope... What did I care about your past...? if your soul entered purely into a future. Fortunate I opened my arms to your eagerness and with my love we went out, as clowns, to live. It was useless to shout that you wanted to be good. It was stupid to howl the promise of your redemption... People are brutal and always hate the one who dreams, they mock him and with laughter their best attempt... Your story and my honor naked at the fair, danced their dance of horror, without compassion... Your anguish understood that it was impossible, to fight against people is hellish. That's why you left me without saying it, love!.... and you went to sink at last in your destiny. Your life from then on was a suicide, a maelstrom of horrors and alcohol. Last night you killed yourself already completely and my emotion mourns you in your rest... Heart! I wish God to protect your dream. doll of love that could not reach its illusion. I wanted to do more but it was only a longing. May your soul forgive my life its best effort. In white when I die, your hope will come, dressed as a bride before God... as she dreamed.
