The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Amor Mudo" by Ruben Blades.

Lyrics

Detrás de mi silencio hay cien palabras
Aunque jamás lo llegues a saber
No encuentro la manera de que salgan
Y te digan de mi querer
El tiempo pasa sin que se decida lo nuestro
Es un amor sin resolver
Yo sé que no hay excusa ya que valga
Y que pierdo la calma, en cada ayer
Me asusta esta pasión, ¿porqué se calla?
Quizás conoce de algo que no sé yo
Pero también acepto que es mi falla
El creer que tú tal vez le digas no
Detrás de mi silencio hay un cariño
Que nunca antes a nadie le ofrecí
Pero ante ti, respondo como un niño
Y escondo mi ilusión de ser feliz

Lyrics translation

Behind my silence there are a hundred words
Even if you never know
I can't find a way out.
And tell you of my love
Time goes by without us being decided
It's an unsolved love
I know there's no excuse as it's worth it
And that I lose my cool, every day
I'm afraid of this passion, why do you keep quiet?
Maybe he knows something I don't know.
But I also accept that it's my fault
Believing that you might say no
Behind my silence there is a affection
That I've never offered anyone before
But to you, I respond like a child
And I hide my illusion of being happy
