Lyrics
Español
Del día en que te alejes Y aquel en que me olvides, Tan sólo nos separan Los ensueños de un amor Que ya ni existe. Y el día en que te ausentes, Perdida para siempre, Ninguno de los dos Ha de llorar por ansias de Este amor. Bien sé qué imposible sed, tú me alcanzaste, Bien sé qué raíces echó tu pasión, Y al fin, sin embargo, te siento culpable De tanta increíble tortura de hoy. Tu amor, fue arrebato fugaz de un engaño, Tal vez no merezca ni el nombre de amor, Lo cierto es que nunca quisiste ser dueña Del fuego sagrado de mi corazón. El día en que te pierda Quizá mis soledades, Se abrumen de inquietudes Por tus horas de dolor Inevitables. El día de tu ausencia Será de angustia plena, Angustia de un adiós Que nos dará la paz Del corazón.

Of the day when you walk away And the day you forget me, The only thing that separates us The reveries of a love That no longer exists. And the day when you'll be gone, Lost forever, Neither of us Shall weep for longing for This love. Well I know what impossible thirst, you reached me, I know well what roots your passion took, And at last, nevertheless, I feel you guilty Of so much incredible torture today. Your love, it was a fleeting snatch of a deception, Perhaps it doesn't even deserve the name of love, What is certain is that you never wanted to own Of the sacred fire of my heart. The day I lose you Perhaps my solitudes Will be overwhelmed with worries For your hours of pain Inevitable. The day of your absence Will be full of anguish, Anguish of a goodbye That will give us peace Of the heart.
