Lyrics
Español
Altiva y soberbia, cual diosa pagana, pasaste a mi lado mostrando el rencor y desde aquel día yo sé que he perdido, la gloria inefable de un sueño de amor. No extraño tus besos que fueron fingidos, ni extraño tus labios de raro dulzor... ni me sorprende tu enorme falsía, porque son hermanas: mujer y traición. Yo tan sólo siento de todo tu enojo, el traidor embrujo que tienen tus ojos. Ojos que fueron estrellas que guiaron mi alma, que me roban calma si me niegan crueles cuando ansioso busco su mirar de amor. Ojos que fueron las redes donde prisionero, te adoré sincero y me han hecho esclavo, al poner en mi alma la azul ilusión. Pero tu alma, desdeñosa y fría, no sabía de amores para mi dolor. Fueron tus ojos los que me mintieron tan engañadores, como aquel fulgor. Y ahora arrastro la cadena del recuerdo triste del pasado hermoso, al vivir dichoso en los dorados brazos de aquella ilusión. Amores fingidos son, cual mariposa, como ella engañosa que igual que una flor nos mienten cariño, nos hieren el alma, se llevan la esencia y nos dejan dolor. Pero yo no siento el dolor de la herida que abrió dentro mi alma tu negra traición, tan sólo me duele el fulgor de tus ojos, que ayer me miraron con tierna pasión.

Haughty and arrogant, like a pagan goddess, you passed by my side showing rancor and since that day I know that I have lost, the ineffable glory of a dream of love. I do not miss your kisses that were feigned, nor do I miss your lips of rare sweetness... nor am I surprised by your enormous falsehood, because they are sisters: woman and betrayal. I only feel of all your anger, the treacherous spell that your eyes have. Eyes that were stars that guided my soul, that rob me of calm if they cruelly deny me when I anxiously seek your loving gaze. Eyes that were the nets where I was a prisoner, I adored you sincere and they have made me a slave, by putting in my soul the blue illusion. But your soul, disdainful and cold, knew no love for my pain. It was your eyes that lied to me as deceitful as that gleam. And now I drag the chain of the sad memory of the beautiful past, to live blissfully in the golden arms of that illusion. Pretend loves are, like a butterfly, like a deceitful butterfly that like a flower they lie to us, they hurt our souls, they take away the essence and leave us pain. But I don't feel the pain of the wound that your black betrayal opened inside my soul, I only feel the pain of the gleam of your eyes, that yesterday looked at me with tender passion.
