Lyrics

Español

Sufres porque me aleja la fe de un mañana que busco afanoso tan sólo por ti. Y es un collar de estrellas que tibio desgranan tus ojos hermosos llorándome así. Sueño de juventud que muere en tu adiós, tímida remembranza que añoraré, canto de una esperanza que ambicioné acariciando tu alma en mi soledad. Mi pobre corazón no sabe pensar, y al ver que lo alejan de ti sólo sabe llorar, sólo sabe gemir, sangrando al morir en tu adiós... Lírico amor primero, caricia y tortura, castigo y dulzura de mi amanecer. Yo acunaré en un canto tu inmensa ternura buscando en mi cielo tu imagen de ayer.

English · machine translation

You suffer because I am driven away the faith of a tomorrow that I am eagerly looking for just for you. And it is a necklace of stars that your beautiful eyes your beautiful eyes crying to me like this. Dream of youth that dies in your goodbye, shy remembrance that I will long for, song of a hope that I longed for caressing your soul in my solitude. My poor heart does not know how to think, and when it sees that it is taken away from you it only knows how to cry, it only knows how to moan, bleeding to death in your goodbye... Lyrical love first, caress and torture, punishment and sweetness of my dawn. I will cradle in a song your immense tenderness searching in my sky your image of yesterday.
