Cuando El Río Suena

What a strange silence in my soul
How dark the light in my eyes
It scares me to have this calmness
I feel like destiny has put a lock on me

I look at you and I don't recognize you, I sense you're not the same
I analyze you and see you sideways, completely different
What a pity to see myself, how I've become rooted to your bed
And for your hair a beautiful crown and for my head bunches of gray hair
The sun enters through my window, the day corrects the dawn
Sweat soaks my bed and my pillow feels very lonely

Like the groom of death, I have defended the indefensible
Always afraid of losing you, always speaking to you sensibly
I have played with my luck in an incomprehensible way
Always measuring my words, always with good manners
Always with magic spells for your deceitful looks
And for your cruel glances, owners of all my blindness

You leave, I am a shadow of sadness abandoned in oblivion
You don't even value how much I have loved you
It is felt in the air that your affection has numbed
You leave, and I am left alone with my loneliness
I talk to my pillow, no one knows how to answer
That disappointments are always for the one who gives the most

I love you so much
That I am content with being a hairpin for your hair
And see how much I love you
But today it's for me, I don't point at anyone, I don't like pointing
I think destiny has chosen me at random
Today it's for me

Maybe tomorrow I'll have to be happy
For having overlooked the madness of suffering
Today it's for me
I walk with firm steps, without looking back
They say if you turn back you only remember
When you were very happy

Today it's for me
I will make sure your selfishness never sees me cry
You will see that in my features you only see the smile
Today it's for me
