Mercedita (part. Perla)

I remember with longing your charms, Mercedita
Perfumed, beautiful flower
I remember that once I met her in a field far away one afternoon
And today only the longing for this love that fell apart remains

That's how our desire was born
With illusion, with much faith
But I don't know why this flower
Left me pain and loneliness

She left with another love
That made me understand
What it means to desire, what it means to suffer
Because I gave her my heart

(Time is passing and the fields are turning green
And the longing is only growing inside my heart
But despite the time that has passed, Mercedita
This memory still beats in my sad song)

That's how our desire was born
With illusion, with much faith
But I don't know why this flower
Left me pain and loneliness

She left with another love
That made me understand
What it means to desire, what it means to suffer
Because I gave her my heart

And so it was (our desire)
With illusion (with much faith)
But I don't know why the flower
Withered and died

And loving her (with another love)
That's how I came (to understand)
What it means to desire, what it means to suffer
Because I gave her my heart
