Farolito de papel

In your groups I got stuck
and in your lullaby I fell asleep
and asleep I stayed
alone, sucker... and feeling like a fool.
Tonight I found
the goodbye letter
on the pillow where yesterday
you swore eternal love to me.
Paper lantern,
that illuminated my place
with the friendly and faithful light
of loving infatuation.
Today you shine on the other side,
you went out for me.
And here I am in the dark,
alone, sucker... and feeling like a fool.

I was left alone...
I had no one else but you!...
Sucker... because
you were my world of illusion!
I light up again
the sad cigarette of yesterday,
to ease
this tough bitterness
that you give me today...

You are pretty, you have
fine looks... and you deceive.
You promise a whole world
and leave without giving.
You adorn yourself with the suit
of my foolish heart,
and those who passed by
were dazzled by your reflection...
But, in the end, you are just
Paper Lantern
and one night at your best
you will surely burn.
You will also carry your burden
when they find out that you have
a lot of smoke and little light,
Paper Lantern...
