My Girl With Sparkling Eyes
I can no longer live in the dark silence
There is a feeling that oppresses me, my girl
I only wish you'd believe in my immense suffering
My relentless torment that I endure for you
I cherished you from the first moment I saw you
I felt that my life only belonged to you
Nostalgia grips me when I see you leave
I remain crying helplessly, alone in my sorrow
Your face, so delicate like the petals of a passionflower
And my soul, like a child, gazes at you with pain
Tears stream from my eyes when I see your disdain
While with so much affection I recite my verses to you
My girl with shining, my evening start
In your hands rests my soul, my life
Take them an throw them into the flames if you don't love me
What's the purpose of living in this world without you?
In the church, the bronze bell tolls
There, I kneel before the Virgin and pray
With devotion and firmness, I plead to her
To grant me the sacred promise of your love
On the day you love me, roses will bloom
Butterflies will come to announce my joy
And in the middle of a beautiful day, I will have that fortune
Before death embraces me, of kissing you, my girl
