Lyrics

Español

Desterrado de un amor... Peregrino de un querer... Fugitivo de tus ojos, sólo sueño con volver y mis noches se despueblan y de brumas es mi amanecer. De tu amor soy un cautivo porque en mí todo te nombra; desde el mar que brama altivo hasta el valle, que furtivo, de tu amor me habla en la sombra. Al cantar, te nombra el ave... Al morir, te nombra el día... Y al pasar, el aire suave ecos trae de lejanía que te nombran sin cesar... Que me puedas olvidar mientras sólo pienso en ti, que me niegues el cariño mientras tengo tu alma en mí, son las dudas que me envuelven desde el día que te conocí.

English · machine translation

Banished from a love... Pilgrim of a love... Fugitive of your eyes, I only dream of returning and my nights are deserted and of mists is my dawn. I am a captive of your love because in me everything names you; from the sea that roars haughtily to the valley, that furtive of your love speaks to me in the shadows. When singing, the bird names you... When dying, the day names you... And in passing, the soft air brings echoes from afar that name you unceasingly... May you forget me while I only think of you, that you deny me affection while I have your soul in me, are the doubts that have enveloped me since the day I met you.
