Lyrics

Español

En la tarde gris del sinsabor te vi partir sufrida y buena. Y en aquel instante comprendí todo el horror de tu condena. Vida... yo no sé en qué abismo me perdí para vivir así. Pena... de sentir lo que vale tu amor. Tarde... cuando el vicio de mí te alejó. Llanto... que es un canto por ti con destino de flor, perfumar y morir. Novia mía... se retira vencido el alcohol. Oye... la plegaria de mi corazón. Mira... hoy la tarde es feliz y el cielo se desangra por ti.

English · machine translation

In the gray afternoon of the tastelessness I saw you leave suffering and good. And in that instant I understood all the horror of your condemnation. Life... I don't know in what abyss I lost my way to live like this. Sorrow... to feel what your love is worth. Late... when vice took you away from me. Crying... that is a song for you with the destiny of a flower, perfuming and dying. My bride... the alcohol is defeated and withdraws. Hear... the prayer of my heart. Look... today the evening is happy and the sky bleeds for you.
