Lyrics
Yo puse el esfuerzo
y ella la desgana.
Yo el hondo silencio
y ella la palabra,
Yo senda y camino
y ella la distancia.
Yo puse los ojos
y ella la mirada.
Quise entre mis manos
retener el agua
y sobre la arena
levanté mi casa.
Me quedé sin manos,
me quedé sin casa;
fui raíz oscura
y ella tronco y rama.
Para que la cuenta
del amor sumara,
ella puso el cuerpo,
yo el cuerpo y el alma.
Era toda viento,
yo todo montaña.
Yo pura resina,
y ella pura llama.
Una noche oscura
se fue de mi casa.
Cegaron mis ojos
para no mirarla.
Para no seguirla
cerré las ventanas.
Clausuré las puertas
para no llamarla.
Puse rosas negras
sobre nuestra cama.
Sobre su memoria
puse rosas blancas.
Y a la luz difusa
de la madrugada,
me quité la vida
para no matarla.
Yo lo puse todo,
vida, cuerpo y alma,
y ella, Dios lo sabe,
nunca puso nada.
J. C. M. P.
Lyrics translation
I put the effort
and she disengages it.
I the deep silence
and she the word,
I walk and walk
and she's the distance.
I set my eyes
and she looks at her.
I wanted in my hands
retain water
and on the sand
I built my house.
I ran out of hands.,
I'm homeless.;
I was dark root
and she trunk and branch.
For the account
of love sumara,
she put the body,
body and soul.
It was all wind,
me all mountain.
I pure resin,
and she pure calls.
A dark night
he left my house.
They blinded my eyes
not to look at her.
To not follow her
I closed the windows.
I closed the doors.
not to call her.
I put black roses
over our bed.
About his memory
I put white roses.
And diffuse light
early morning,
I took my life
not to kill her.
I put it all in.,
life, body and soul,
and she, God knows,
he never put anything in.
J. C. M. P.
