Sus ojos se cerraron y el mundo sigue andando
His eyes closed and the world goes on
Su boca que era mía ya no me besa mas
His mouth that was mine no longer kisses me
Se apagaron los ecos de su reír sonoro
The echoes of his sonorous laughter were extinguished
Y es cruel este silencio que me haré tanto mal
And it is cruel this silence that I will do so much harm
Fue mía la piadosa dulzura de sus manos
The pious sweetness of his hands was mine
Que dieron a mis penas caricias de bondad
Who gave my sorrows caresses of kindness
Y ahora que la evoco hundido en mi quebranto
And now that I remember her sunk in my brokenness
Las lagrimas trenzadas se niegan a brotar
Braided tears refuse to sprout
Y no tengo el consuelo de poder llorar
And I don't have the consolation of being able to cry.
¿Porque sus alas tan cruel quemó la vida
Why his wings so cruel burned life
Por que esta mueca siniestra de la suerte?
Why this sinister grimace of luck?
Quise abrigarla y mas pudo la muerte
I wanted to shelter her and death was more possible
Como me duele y se ahonda mi herida
How it hurts and deepens my wound
Yo se que ahora vendrán caras extrañas
I know that strange faces will come now
Con su limosna de alivio a mi quebranto
With his alms of relief to my brokenness
Todo es mentira, mentira es el lamento
Everything is a lie, lie is the lament
Hoy esta solo mi corazón
Today is only my heart
Como perros de presa las penas traicioneras
Like dogs of prey treacherous sorrows
Celando mi cariño galopaban detrás
Jealous of my affection they galloped behind
Y escondida en las aguas de su mirada buena
And hidden in the waters of his good look
La muerte agazapada marcaba su compás
Crouching death marked his compass
En vano yo alentaba febril una esperanza
In vain I feverishly encouraged a hope.
Clavó en mi carne viva sus garras el dolor
He dug his claws into my living flesh the pain
y mientras en la calle en loca algarabía
and while on the street in crazy hubbub
El carnaval del mundo gozaba y se reía
The carnival of the world enjoyed and laughed
Burlándose el destino me robo su amor
Mocking fate stole my love
¿Por que sus alas?
Why its wings?
