Lyrics

Español

Rondas de recuerdos castigan mi hastío Son burlas sangrientas en mi soledad, Mis manos temblando de miedo y de frío Son pájaros ciegos que quieren volar. Me parece verte llorando de pena Me parece verte llorando de amor, Ella que fue noble, fue santa y fue buena Vio cómo moría su sueño mejor. En mi soledad tiemblo al contemplar Esta vida que es como un castigo, Siento su risa en esta noche interminable Grito su nombre pero inútil, por que es tarde. Qué podrán decir, que podrán saber Los que así me ven, solo y vencido, Si yo arrancara de mi pecho esta tortura Que perdura la amargura, de mi dolor...

English · machine translation

Rounds of memories punish my boredom. They are bloody taunts in my loneliness, My hands trembling with fear and cold They are blind birds that want to fly. It seems to me that I see you crying of sorrow It seems to me to see you crying of love, She who was noble, she who was holy and she who was good She saw her best dream die. In my solitude I tremble as I contemplate This life that is like a punishment, I feel her laughter in this endless night. I cry out his name but useless, because it's late. What can they say, what can they know Those who see me like this, alone and defeated, If I were to tear from my breast this torture That endures the bitterness of my pain...
