Manantial de Llanto

Fountain of Tears

Manantial de Llanto

For the fleeting joy of having met youPor la dicha fugaz de haberte conocido
I didn’t escape the pain of suffering your forgetfulnessNo exenté la pena de sufrir tu olvido
For the childish thought of that first kissPor la infantil idea de aquel primer beso
That’s why I’m here, trapped by my desirePor eso estoy aquí, de mi deseo preso

That’s why, that’s whyPor eso, por eso

Because I met you, and only when I’m deadPorque te conocí, y solamente muerto
Would your love not have bloomed in my gardenNo habría florecido tu amor en mi huerto
For the cruel ignorance of falling in lovePor la inconsciencia cruel de haberme enamorado
With you, my executioner love, sweet sinDe ti, verdugo amor, tierno pecado

That’s why, that’s whyPor eso, por eso
And for loving you so muchY por quererte tanto
My eyes have turned intoMis ojos se volvieron
A fountain of tearsUn manantial de llanto

A fountain of tearsUn manantial de llanto
Where I drown my sorrowsDonde ahogo las penas
Since you leftDesde que tú te fuiste
There are no peaceful hoursYa no hay horas serenas

A fountain of tearsUn manantial de llanto
With which I water the liliesCon que riego los nardos
That bloom in my soulQue florecen en mi alma
Right next to your memoriesJuntito a tus recuerdos

For a trivial mistake and having messed upPor un banal error y haberme equivocado
I’ve signed a debt I’ll pay for lifeUn debo y pagaré de por vida he firmado
And because, even without a right, I live in loveY porque, aun sin derecho, vivo enamorado
With you, my executioner love, sweet sinDe ti, verdugo amor, tierno pecado

That’s why, that’s whyPor eso, por eso
And for loving you so muchY por quererte tanto
My eyes have turned intoMis ojos se volvieron
A fountain of tearsUn manantial de llanto

A fountain of tearsUn manantial de llanto
Where I drown my sorrowsDonde ahogo las penas
Since you leftDesde que tú te fuiste
There are no peaceful hoursYa no hay horas serenas

A fountain of tearsUn manantial de llanto
With which I water the liliesCon que riego los nardos
That bloom in my soulQue florecen en mi alma
Right next to your memoriesJuntito a tus recuerdos

A fountainUn manantial
A fountain of tearsUn manantial de llanto
Where I drown my sorrowsDonde ahogo las penas
Since you leftDesde que tú te fuiste
There are no peaceful hoursYa no hay horas serenas

A fountain of tearsUn manantial de llanto
With which I water the liliesCon que riego los nardos
That bloom in my soulQue florecen en mi alma
Right next to your memoriesJuntito a tus recuerdos
