Sus ojos se cerraron [English translation]

Her eyes closed and the world continued on

Her mouth that was mine doesn't kiss me anymore

The echoes of her resonant laughing fades

And it's cruel that this silence makes me feel so bad

It was mine, the pious sweetness of her hands

that kindly caressed my pains

and now that evokes my sunken grief

the twisting tears that never stop flowing

and I cry, inconsolable

Why did their cruel wings burn her life?

Why this sinister grimace of luck?

I would shelter her and *more could the death,

how it hurts me and and deepens my wound

I know that now strange faces will come

with their alms to relieve my grief

All of it are lies, their lament is a lie

Today my heart is alone

Like hounds, these traitorous pains

conceal my affection galloping behind

and hidden in the waters of her beauty

the crouching death set her beat

In vain, I feverishly nurtured a hope

I drove in my living flesh your claws of pain

and meanwhile, in the street, in insane revelry

the carnival of the world enjoyed itself and laughed

Destiny tricked me and stole her love from me

Why did their cruel wings burn her life?

Why this sinister grimace of luck?

I would shelter her and *more could the death,

how it hurts me and and deepens my wound

I know that now strange faces will come

with their alms to relieve my grief

All of it are lies, their lament is a lie

Today my heart is alone
