Cuando El Río Suena
Que extraño silencio en mi alma
Que oscura la luz de mis ojos
Me asusta tener esta calma
Me da que el destino me ha puesto un cerrojo
Te miro y no te conozco, presiento que no eres la misma
Te analizo y te veo de reojo rotundamente distinta
Qué pena de ver mi persona, como se ha enraizao a tu cama
Y pa tu pelo una hermosa corona y pa mi cabeza manojos de canas
El Sol entra por mi ventana, el día corrige la aurora
El sudor empapa mi cama y mi almohada se siente muy sola
Como el novio de la muerte, he defendio lo indefendible
Siempre con miedo a perderte, siempre hablandote sensible
He jugado con mi suerte de manera incomprensible
Siempre midiendo las palabras, siempre con buenas maneras
Siempre con abracadabra pa tus pintas de embustera
Y pa tus crueles miradas, dueñas de toas mis cegueras
Te vas, soy una sombra de tristeza arrumbaito en el olvio
Ya no te vale siquiera lo mucho que te he querio
Se respira en el ambiente que tu cariño ha dormecio
Te vas, y me quedo tan solo con mi soledad
Hablo con mi almohada, nadie sabe contestar
Que los desengaños siempre son pa el que más da
Es tanto lo que te quiero
Que me conformo con ser una orquillita pa tu pelo
Y mira si yo a ti te quiero
Pero hoy está pa mí, no señalo a nadie, no me gusta señalar
Pienso que el destino me ha elegido al azar
Hoy esta pa mí
Tal vez con el mañana me tenga yo que alegrar
De haber pasao por alto las locuras del sufrir
Hoy está pa mi
Me voy con paso firme, sin volver la cara atrás
Dicen que si te vuelves solo haces recordar
Cuando eras muy feliz
Hoy está pa mí
Haré que tu egoísmo nunca me vea llorar
Veras que en mis facciones solo ves el sonreír
Hoy esta pa mi
When the River Sounds
What a strange silence in my soul
How dark the light in my eyes
It scares me to have this calmness
I feel like destiny has put a lock on me
I look at you and I don't recognize you, I sense you're not the same
I analyze you and see you sideways, completely different
What a pity to see myself, how I've become rooted to your bed
And for your hair a beautiful crown and for my head bunches of gray hair
The sun enters through my window, the day corrects the dawn
Sweat soaks my bed and my pillow feels very lonely
Like the groom of death, I have defended the indefensible
Always afraid of losing you, always speaking to you sensibly
I have played with my luck in an incomprehensible way
Always measuring my words, always with good manners
Always with magic spells for your deceitful looks
And for your cruel glances, owners of all my blindness
You leave, I am a shadow of sadness abandoned in oblivion
You don't even value how much I have loved you
It is felt in the air that your affection has numbed
You leave, and I am left alone with my loneliness
I talk to my pillow, no one knows how to answer
That disappointments are always for the one who gives the most
I love you so much
That I am content with being a hairpin for your hair
And see how much I love you
But today it's for me, I don't point at anyone, I don't like pointing
I think destiny has chosen me at random
Today it's for me
Maybe tomorrow I'll have to be happy
For having overlooked the madness of suffering
Today it's for me
I walk with firm steps, without looking back
They say if you turn back you only remember
When you were very happy
Today it's for me
I will make sure your selfishness never sees me cry
You will see that in my features you only see the smile
Today it's for me
