Lyrics
Español
Pondré largas distancias Entre tu amor y el mío, Me cegaré los ojos Para no verte más. Arrastraré mis labios Para que no te nombren, Y así, quizás un día De mí te olvidarás. Como tú me lo pides Me marcharé muy lejos, Porque te quiero tanto, En mi pecho desnudo Clavaré tu puñal. No escucharás mi grito Ni te diré un reproche, Porque vivir sin verte Es morir, nada más. Qué remolino negro Nos arrastró en su danza, Fue tu amor, fue tu sangre O espejismo nomás. Que mentida esperanza Nos engañó un momento, Qué luz deslumbradora Nos vuelve a separar. Comprendo tu tortura No turbaré tu vida, Lo que pasó fue un sueño De locura, nomás. Nadie sabrá que fuiste Pasionalmente mía, Y que tu amor se abraza En mi misma ansiedad. Como tú me lo pides, Porque te quiero tanto, Por tu boca que tiembla Y que no puedo besar. Pondré largas distancias Entre tu amor y el mío, Y así, quizás un día De mí te olvidarás.

I will put long distances Between your love and mine, I'll blind my eyes To see you no more. I will drag my lips So they won't name you, And so, maybe one day You will forget me. As you ask me I'll go far away, Because I love you so much, In my naked breast I will drive your dagger. You will not hear my cry Nor will I say a reproach, Because to live without seeing you Is to die, nothing more. What a black whirlpool Swept us away in its dance, Was it your love, was it your blood Or just a mirage. What a false hope Fooled us for a moment, What dazzling light Separated us again. I understand your torture I will not disturb your life, What happened was a dream Of madness, only. No one will know that you were Passionately mine, And that your love embraces In my own anxiety. As you ask me, Because I love you so much, For your mouth that trembles And that I cannot kiss. I will put long distances Between your love and mine, And so, maybe one day You will forget me.
