Alma Vencida
Los Trovadores de Cuyo
Defeated Soul
In vain I tried, left the little nest
Of warm caresses, of holy illusion
To live the sacred and blessed longing
That in silver nights my mind dreamed
I have an soul full of shadows
My life plunges into such deep pain
That there is not even a star in the sky
To light up the nights of my heart
Today shadows trace my forehead
Left behind by the temples of evil
And here my hair with threads so white
Are signs that scream the bitter truth
The hours of happiness have passed
Leaving in my chest their icy cold
The deep emptiness so sad and so black
That love that leaves puts in life
And I, who admired your sweet affection
When I gave my life to other arms
Today I bring an soul so full of sorrows
That I can no longer want or love
I am now a bundle of sad memories
Crying for the lost glories of yesterday
You see, beloved, I only offer you
A defeated soul without dreams or faith
Today shadows trace my forehead
Left behind by the temples of evil
And here my hair with threads so white
Are signs that scream the bitter truth
