Lyrics

Español

Si al sentir que te perdía, si al saber que te quería cómo te dejé partir. Si al partir tu te llevaste a mi alma hecha pedazos y a mí nada me dejaste para no sufrir así. Hoy que el tiempo ya ha pasado y que sólo me ha dejado amarguras y dolor. Yo quisiera verte un día y tan sólo demostrarte como vivo desde entonces, sin consuelo y sin amor. Solo... espantosamente solo, apurando en la copa de la vida el sinsabor. Pena de arrastrar esta condena que me mata y que me quema este triste corazón. Frío... de sentir adentro mío primaveras perdidas y que ya no volverán. Miedo de saber que solo quedo, días nuestros que se fueron y ya no retornarán. Si encontrase en mi sendero un amor que me salvara, pero cómo habrá de ser. Si ya todo es agorero, si Dios quiso que te amara y no quiere libertarme del tormento de querer. Andaré por los caminos en un viaje por las sombras, que me alejarán de ti. Y las voces que te nombran se unirán a mi destino anudando mis angustias hasta el día de morir.

Yes, when I felt I was losing you, if knowing that I loved you how I let you go. If when you left you took with you my soul in pieces and you left me nothing so as not to suffer like that. Today that time has already passed and has only left me bitterness and pain. I would like to see you one day and just show you how I live since then, without comfort and without love. Alone... frightfully alone, drinking in the cup of life the tastelessness. Sorrow to drag this condemnation that kills me and burns me this sad heart. Coldness... of feeling inside me lost springs that will never come back. Fear of knowing that I'm only left, our days that are gone and will never return. If I could find on my path a love that would save me, but how could it be. If everything is already ominous, if God wanted me to love you and does not want to free me from the torment of wanting. I will walk along the roads on a journey through the shadows that will take me away from you. And the voices that name you will join my destiny knotting my anguish until the day I die.
