Si Saber Por qué
Mercedes Sosa
Without Knowing Why
Without knowing why our great love
was lost in the mist,
mist that covered with its gray cloak
the happy past.
The happy past that gave me your love
and will fade away
but that will never be erased
from my heart.
From my heart that knew how to give you
its best beat
as if it could never beat again
without having your love.
Without having your love
which is living without light,
without finding forgetfulness.
And it's carrying the cross
and dying of thirst
without knowing why.
Without knowing why
the happy past was covered by the mist
with the gray cloak of endless tears
of my loneliness.
