Lyrics

Español

Yo también como todos un día tenía dinero, amigos y hogar. Nunca supe que había falsía, que el mundo sabía también traicionar. Pero cuando a mi vida tranquila llegó la primera terrible verdad busqué apoyo en aquellos que amaba y crueles me dieron soledad. Ilusión que viviendo latente pasó entre la gente y pura siguió; ilusión, hoy te busco y no estás, ilusión, no te puedo encontrar. Mi pasado sucumbe aterido temblando en el frío de mi vida actual... Y los años, pasando y pasando, me están reprochando porque no hice mal. Si la vida pasó por tu lado dejando tronchado tu sino y tu fe, la maldad que truncó tu camino pondrá en tu destino de amores la sed. Pero cuando, vencido y cansado, tu pecho agobiado requiera bondad, volverá la cabeza la gente dando indiferente soledad.

English · machine translation

I too, like everyone else one day I had money, friends and home. I never knew that there was falsehood, that the world also knew how to betray. But when the first terrible truth came the first terrible truth I looked for support in those I loved and cruelly they gave me solitude. Illusion that living latent passed among the people and pure followed; illusion, today I look for you and you're not there, illusion, I can't find you. My past succumbs terrified shivering in the cold of my present life... And the years, passing and passing are reproaching me because I did no wrong. If life passed you by leaving your fate and your faith cut short, the evil that truncated your path will put thirst in your destiny of love. But when, defeated and weary your burdened breast requires kindness, people will turn their heads giving indifferent solitude.
