Sus Ojos Se Cerraron

Her Eyes Closed

Sus Ojos Se Cerraron

Her eyes closed and the world keeps moving,Sus ojos se cerraron y el mundo sigue andando,
Her lips that were mine don’t kiss me anymore.Su boca que era mia ya no me besa mas.
The echoes of her joyful laughter have faded awaySe apagaron los ecos de su reir sonoro
And this cruel silence hurts me so much...Y es cruel este silencio que me hace tanto mal...

I had the gentle sweetness of her hands,Fue mia la piadosa dulzura de sus manos,
That gave my sorrows tender touches of kindness,Que dieron a mis penas caricias de bondad,
And now that I recall her, lost in my grief,Y ahora que la evoco hundido en mi quebranto,
The tears intertwined refuse to flow,Las lagrimas trenzadas se niegan a brotar,
And I don’t have the comfort of being able to cry...Y no tengo el consuelo de poder llorar...

Because her wings cruelly burned through life!Por que sus alas tan cruel quemo la vida!
Because of that sinister grimace of fate...Por que esa mueca siniestra de la suerte...
I wanted to shelter her, but death had other plans,Quise abrigarla y más pudo la muerte,
Oh, how it hurts and deepens my wound.Como me duele y se ahonda mi herida.

I know now that strange faces will comeYo se que ahora vendran caras extrañas
With their false relief for my torment.Con su limosna de alivio a mi tormento
Everything is a lie, the lament is a lie...Todo es mentira, mentira es el lamento...
Today my heart is all alone!Hoy esta solo mi corazón!

Like hunting dogs, the treacherous sorrowsComo perros de presa las penas traicioneras
Jealously galloped behind her love,Celando su cariño galopaban detras,
And hidden in the waters of her kind gaze,Y escondida en las aguas de su mirada buena
Death lay in wait, marking her rhythm.La muerte agazapada marcaba su compas.

In vain I feverishly nurtured a hope,En vano yo alentaba febril una esperanza
Pain has sunk its claws into my living flesh,Clavo en mi carne viva sus garras el dolor,
And while on the street in wild revelryY mientras en la calle en loca algarabia
The carnival of the world celebrated and laughed,El carnaval del mundo gozaba y se reia
Mocking me, fate stole her love...Burlandose el destino me robo su amor...
