Lyrics
Sus ojos se cerraron y el mundo sigue andando
Su boca que era mía ya no me besa más
Se apagaron los ecos de su reír sonoro
Y es cruel este silencio que me hace tanto mal
Fue mía la piadosa dulzura de sus manos
Que dieron a mis penas caricias de bondad
Y ahora que la evoco hundido en mi quebranto
Las lágrimas tensadas se niegan a brotar
Y no tengo el consuelo de poder llorar
Porque sus alas tan cruel quebró la vida
Porque esta mueca siniestra de la suerte
Quise abrigarla y más pudo la muerte
Como me duele y se ahonda esta herida
Yo se que ahora vendrán caras extrañas
Con su limosna de alivio a mi tormento
Todo es mentira, mentira es el lamento
Hoy esta solo mi corazón
Como perros de presa las penas traicioneras
Celando su cariño galopaban detrás
Y escondida en las aguas de su mirada buena
La muerte agazapada marcaba su compás
En vano yo alentaba febril una esperanza
Clavo en mi carne viva sus garras el dolor
Y mientras en las calles en loca algarabía
El carnaval del mundo gozaba y se reía
Burlándose el destino me robo su amor
Porque sus alas tan cruel quebró la vida
Porque esta mueca siniestra de la suerte
Quise abrigarla y más pudo la muerte
Como me duele y se ahonda esta herida
Yo se que ahora vendrán caras extrañas
Con su limosna de alivio a mi tormento
Todo es mentira, mentira es el lamento
Hoy esta solo mi corazón
Lyrics translation
His eyes are closed and the world keeps walking
His mouth that was mine no longer kisses me
The echoes of his sonorous laughter were extinguished
And it's cruel this silence that makes me so bad
The pious sweetness of his hands was mine
Who gave my sorrows caresses of goodness
And now that I summon her sunk in my crush
Strained tears refuse to sprout
And I don't have the comfort of being able to cry
Because his wings so cruel broke life
Because this sinister grimace of luck
I wanted to coat her and more could Death
How it hurts and deepens this wound
I know that strange faces will come now
With his alms of relief to my torment
Everything is a lie, a lie is a lament
Today is only my heart
Like dogs of prey the treacherous penalties
Hiding their affection galloped behind
And hidden in the waters of his good look
Crouching death marked its compass
In vain I feverishly encouraged a hope
Nail in my living flesh your claws the pain
And while on the streets in crazy fuss
The carnival of the world enjoyed and laughed
Mocking fate I stole his love
Because his wings so cruel broke life
Because this sinister grimace of luck
I wanted to coat her and more could Death
How it hurts and deepens this wound
I know that strange faces will come now
With his alms of relief to my torment
Everything is a lie, a lie is a lament
Today is only my heart
