Lyrics

Español

Cuando pasen los años, cuando veas un día hecho trizas mis sueños y tus fantasías habrás de sentir de que todo es mentira, de que todo es incierto de que todo es sufrir. Cuando tenga tu vida la impiedad del desierto, allí sobre el rosario de tus sueños muertos, te acordarás de mí. Y entonces llorarás, mientras quemes poco a poco, tus anhelos de vivir. Y entonces llorarás cuando el tiempo no respete, tu piel blanca de jazmín. Que horrible debe ser, cuando sientes que el pasado, se hace garfio en el rencor... Ver como tu orgullo se hace miedo, y entonces llorarás... y no seremos dos... Cuando pasen los años, cuando lodo tu empeño se haga cruz en los sueños, que mueren sin dueño llorando de amor. En tu vida sin flores, sin amigos, ni amores sangrará el corazón. Y estarás pobre y sola, con tu vida vencida, buscando inútilmente, consuelo a los heridas que el tiempo te dejó.

English · machine translation

When the years go by, when you see one day my dreams and your fantasies shattered you will feel that everything is a lie, that everything is uncertain, that everything is suffering. that everything is suffering. When your life has the impiety of the desert, there on the rosary of your dead dreams, you will remember me. And then you will weep, as you burn little by little your longing for life. And then you will cry when time does not respect your jasmine-white skin. How horrible it must be, when you feel the past becomes a hook in the rancor... To see your pride become fear, and then you'll cry... and there won't be two of us... When the years go by, when mud your determination becomes a cross in the dreams, which die without an owner weeping for love. In your life without flowers, without friends, without loves your heart will bleed. And you will be poor and alone, with your life defeated, seeking uselessly, consolation for the wounds that time has left you.
