Uno
Lucecita Benítez
One
One searches full of hope
for the path that dreams
promised to their desires...
Knows that the fight is cruel
and it’s a lot, but fights and bleeds
for the faith that drives them.
One drags along through thorns
and in their effort to give love
suffers and breaks down until they understand,
that one has been left without a heart...
The price of punishment that one pays
for a kiss that never comes
or a love that deceived them.
Empty now of loving and crying
so much betrayal!...
If I had the heart,
the heart that I gave...
If I could, like yesterday,
love without feeling...
It’s possible that in your eyes
that scream their affection
i would close them with my kisses...
Without thinking they were like those
other eyes, the wicked ones
that sank my life...
If I had the heart,
the same one I lost...
If I could forget the one who yesterday
destroyed it, and could love you,
I would hold onto your illusion
to cry for your love.
But God put you in my path
without thinking it’s already too late
and I won’t know how to love you...
Let me cry
like one who suffers in life
the torture of crying their own death.
Pure as you are, you would have saved
my hope with your love...
One is so alone in their pain,
One is so blind in their sorrow...
But a cruel cold
that’s worse than hate,
dead end of souls,
horrendous grave of my love,
cursed forever and stole
all my hope...
