Lyrics
Español
Cuantas noches fatídicas de vicio tus ilusiones dulces de mujer, como las rosas de una loca orgía les deshojaste en el cabaret. Y tras la farsa del amor mentido al alejarte del Armenonville, era el intenso frío de tu alma lo que abrigabas con tu zorro gris. Al fingir carcajadas de gozo ante el oro fugaz del champán, reprimías adentro del pecho un deseo tenaz de llorar. Y al pensar, entre un beso y un tango, en tu humilde pasado feliz, ocultabas las lágrimas santas en los pliegues de tu zorro gris. Por eso toda tu angustiosa historia en esa prenda gravitando está. Ella guardó tus lágrimas sagradas, ella abrigó tu frío espiritual. Y cuando llegue en un cercano día a tus dolores el ansiado fin, todo el secreto de tu vida triste se quedará dentro del zorro gris.
English · machine translation
How many fateful nights of vice your sweet illusions of woman, like the roses of a mad orgy you stripped them in the cabaret. And after the farce of love's deceitful charade as you walked away from the Armenonville, it was the intense cold of your soul that you sheltered with your gray fox. As you feigned guffaws of joy at the fleeting gold of champagne, you repressed inside your chest a tenacious desire to cry. And thinking, between a kiss and a tango, of your humble happy past, you hid your holy tears in the folds of your gray fox. That's why all your anguished history is gravitating in that garment. She kept your holy tears, she sheltered your spiritual cold. And when in a near day the longed-for end the longed-for end to your pains, all the secret of your sad life will remain inside the gray fox.
