Lastime Su Inocencia
Luis Mateus
Lastime Her Innocence
She invented laughter for me and put an end to my sadness
Painted a flower with my ashes, turned my winter into spring
And I discovered how much I love her, only now after I lost her
I took advantage of her innocence, my punishment will be endless.
I keep in my heart the essence of her intimacy
She said a thousand prayers for me at every sunrise
While filling my soul with her goodwill
I filled every space of her being with a thousand lies.
I was so sure of her desire to dream
That I built her a castle of lies out of paper
I couldn't understand that I truly loved her
And now only in my dreams can I feel her caresses.
Now who can remove the thorns from my skin
Now who can tell her that I'm dying in loneliness
Now who can remove the thorns from my skin
Now who can tell her that I'm dying in loneliness
If she has left a light burning in my body that is now fading.
Now who can remove the thorns from my skin
Now who can tell her that I'm dying in loneliness
Now who can remove the thorns from my skin
Now who can tell her that I'm dying in loneliness.
She wanted to fall in love and I took over her smile
She gave up her life to love me and in return, I left her a wound
And if I could forgive myself and give back her joy
And wake up one day with the one who is still mine
Today I simply hope to be able to kiss her again
And find in her lips the love that was lost
When, so insolent, I deceived her without reason
I was a fool and thought I owned her heart
Today, so repentant of the pain I caused her
I search for her, confused in the shadow of pain
I hope that when I find her, she can understand me
That she has been my path, my destiny, and my reason.
Now who can remove the thorns from my skin
Now who can tell her that I'm dying in loneliness
Now who can remove the thorns from my skin
Now who can tell her that I'm dying in loneliness.
