Eloisa [English translation]

Her name was Eloisa and she seemed quite Spanish to me.

She was a marvelous dancer, the danger drew me to her.

I blindly approached the fire.

There I won and lost.

Her passion burned me, but I never complained.

With you I was close to paradise,

Even if now and then it felt like hell.

But those times were so good, I regretted nothing, Eloisa.

I loved you body and soul,

To the point that the king in me turned into a beggar.

But if I had the choice, I'd do it all over again, Eloisa.

I'm sitting on the ruins

Of countless dreams that you took from me.

Even should you leave me alone, I would have to forgive you.

With you I was close to paradise,

Even if now and then it felt like hell.

But those times were so good, I regretted nothing, Eloisa.

I loved you body and soul,

To the point that the king in me turned into a beggar.

But if I had the choice, I'd do it all over again, Eloisa.
