El Hombre Que Perdió Sus Ilusiones
Sandro
The Man Who Lost His Illusions
When a man loses his illusions
When a man stops smiling
And in his soul there are no more passions
He's a man without the will to live.
When he looks at the world with indifference
When he lets time pass by
He lives dead and with his soul numb
He will never again feel close to him
The burning fire of love
Nor the warm breath of faith
That gives life.
He won't be able to look
Towards the skies and laugh
Nor discover in his window
A new day.
When a man harbors sadness
And pain nests in his soul
It's because the world has struck fiercely
And has slowly killed his illusion.
If the spark of his life fades away
And his chosen star is lost
He has also lost along with her
The hope that he will never find again
Because he has sunk in the sea
That is that final tear of agony
And in a silent funeral
He will bury his heart
Accompanied by a procession
Of illusions that are leaving
That are leaving, that are leaving
