Sus Ojos Se Cerraron
Vicente Fernández
Her Eyes Closed
Her eyes closed
And the world keeps going
Her mouth that was mine
Doesn't kiss me anymore
The echoes have faded
Of her loud laughter
And this silence is cruel
That hurts me so much
The merciful sweetness
Of her hands was mine
That gave my sorrows
Caresses of kindness
And now that I evoke her
Sunken in my sorrow
The pressed tears
Refuse to flow
And I don't have the comfort
Of being able to cry
Why did life cruelly burn your wings
Why this sinister grimace of fate
I wanted to shelter her and death prevailed
How it hurts me and my wound deepens
I know that now strange faces will come
With their alms of relief to my torment
Everything is a lie, a lie is the lament
Today my heart is alone
Like a hunting dog, the treacherous sorrows
Jealous of my affection, galloped behind
And hidden in the waters, of her kind gaze
Death crouched marking its beat
In vain I feverishly encouraged a hope
Pain dug its claws into my living flesh
And while in the street in wild revelry
The world's carnival enjoyed and laughed
Mocking destiny, it stole her love
Why did life cruelly burn your wings
Why this sinister grimace of fate
I wanted to shelter her and death prevailed
How it hurts me and my wound deepens
I know that now strange faces will come
With their alms of relief to my torment
Everything is a lie, a lie is the lament
Today my heart is alone
Today my heart is alone
