El Maniquí

Only the old mannequin remained at last

The old mannequin where you tried on
The silk and chiffon that caught the attention
Of all those who saw your princess body

And now it remained there

Thrown in a corner in the old attic
Keeping the emotion of things that are not there
And I remember again the warm hours

And I believe I relive

The crazy coming and going, your womanly body
Searching everywhere for the new outfit
To be able to decorate your beauty

And I, from a corner, watch your performance
Trying to achieve with great concern
Some new color that you will then wear
And you will look flirtatious

Tears blur the vision
And I see in the corner of the old mannequin
That one
Whom I loved

Tell me
Why did you abandon me?
Or perhaps you did not achieve the things you dreamed of?
Did you not see how eagerly I worked
Fighting tirelessly to give you my shelter?

Or perhaps...?
Or perhaps you did not understand that I loved you?
As a lover loves
As a friend wants

But you
Thought you were a queen
That I, your slave, should give you everything and so
And so I gave you my honor, and you annulled me

And I gave you everything
I gave you my blood, my senses, my caresses and you
Took everything
And you annulled me

But, but when I asked you for a little love
You, without looking back, left

Give me back the love
Give me back the life
Give me back the life I gave you
Give me back the dreams
Return the heart here to my chest
Which now empty and already broken
Remembers crying today for you
Give me love
Give me life
