Lyrics
Yo no quiero que nadie a mi me diga
Que de tu dulce vida tu ya me has arrancado
Mi corazón una mentira pide
Para esperar tu imposible llamado
Yo no quiero que nadie se imagine
Como es de amarga y honda mi eterna soledad
Pasan las noches y el minutero muele
La pesadilla de su lento tic tac
En la doliente sombra de mi cuarto al esperar
Sus pasos que quiza no volveran
A veces me parece que ellos detienen su andar
Sin atreverse luego a entrar
Pero no hay nadie y ella no viene
Es un fantasma que crea mi ilusion
Y que al desvanecerse va dejando su vision
Cenizas en mi corazón
En la plateada esfera del reloj
Las horas que agonizan se niegan a pasar
Hay un desfile de extrañas figuras
Que me contemplan con burlon mirar
Es una caravana interminable
Que se hunde en el olvido con su mueca espectral
Se va con ella tu boca que era mia
Solo me queda la angustia de mi mal
Lyrics translation
I don't want anyone to tell me
That from your sweet life you've already ripped me out
My heart a lie asks
To wait for Your Impossible call
I don't want anyone to imagine
How bitter and deep is my eternal loneliness
The nights pass and the minute man grinds
The nightmare of his slow tic tac
In the sorrowful shadow of my room waiting
His steps may not return
Sometimes it seems to me that they stop walking
Without daring then to enter
But there's no one and she's not coming
It's a ghost that creates my illusion
And that when he vanishes he leaves his vision
Ashes in my heart
On the silver dial of the watch
The hours they agonize refuse to pass
There's a parade of strange figures
Who look at me with burlon look
It's an endless caravan
That sinks into oblivion with his spectral grimace
It goes with her your mouth that was mine
All I have left is the anguish of my evil
