Acto de Fe

It's an act of faith to quench this thirst skirting the water
I bring before you the struggle of a man
I beg my God to protect his absence, the cause of my madness
Where are you, holy innocence? Look at me!

If I can still fly over the soul of my sadness
If I can still cry the bitterness of not having her

I can't understand how this heart, which is falling apart today
Could let its soul escape from the clutches of faith
Wherever it may be, the blackbirds will lay their own tears
Memories of yesterday, we saw them born
Today they are no longer here

I beg for forgiveness, madness and pain, the storm without calm
I prostrate myself before God, his image hides
His light fades, he ripped out the wound, I return at last to fleeing
Where are you, holy mercy? Listen to me!

If I can still scream at the top of my sadness
It hurts to swallow the bitterness of not having her

I can't understand how this heart, which is falling apart today
Could let its soul escape from the clutches of faith
Wherever it may be, the blackbirds will lay their own tears
Memories of yesterday, we saw them born
Today they are no longer here

I glimpse an ending that I don't want to see
It's a nameless dream
Today I will be my own executioner, save me!

I can't understand how this heart, which is falling apart today
Could let its soul escape from the clutches of faith
Wherever it may be, the blackbirds will lay their own tears
Memories of yesterday, we saw them born
They are no longer here
