Carta De Luto
Adan Chalino Sanchez
Letter of Mourning
Here I send you this letter of mourning
To tell you how much I feel
The love I have for you is so great
That I already feel my heart dead
This letter is written in blood
But don't think it's for lack of ink
I just want you to understand when you see it
That my life is withered
If I write you this letter of mourning
Because sad and black is my destiny
But in the end I will console myself
Because God sent me this path
When this letter reaches your hands
I just want to ask you a favor
Pay close attention to what it says
For the relief of my heart
When you hear the bells ring
From the clock in front of the cemetery
I just want you to look at the sky
And pray for me
If I write you this letter of mourning
Because sad and black is my destiny
But in the end I will console myself
Because God sent me this path
