A Ciegas

Blindly

A Ciegas

Many nights I feltYo muchas noches sentía
Close to the dayCercano ya al día
Your steps in the houseTus pasos en la casa

Thank God you've arrivedGracias a Dios que has llegao
That nothing badQue no te ha pasao
Has happened to youNinguna cosa mala

In your hands, a scentEn tus manos, un aroma
That permeated like the carnationQue trasminaba como el clavel

But I made jokesPero yo, lo echaba broma
Because I was a slave to your lovePorque era exclavo de tu querer

I got distractedQue me he entretenio
With the things of the gameLas cosas del juego
And I would tell youY yo te decía
Closing my eyesCerrando los ojos
Just like a blind manLo mismo que a un ciego

You don't have to explain to meNo tienes que darme cuentas
I've believed you blindlyA ciegas yo te he creío
I go through the world gropingYo voy por el mundo a tientas
Since I met youDesde que te he conocío

I wear a blindfoldLlevo una venda en los ojos
As they paint faithComo pintan a la fe
There's no pain like this gloryNo hay dolor como esta gloria
Of loving without seeingDe estar queriendo sin ver

My heart doesn't deceive meMi corazón no me engaña
And surrenders to your charityY a tu caridad se entrega
Sleep peacefully, it's clearDuerme tranquilo se entraña
That I'm loving you blindlyQue te estoy queriendo a ciegas

I don't know which Christian handNo sé que mano cristiana
Opened one morningAbrió una mañana
My door suddenlyMi puerta de repente
Light that cut into a thousand piecesLuz que cortó en mil pedazos
Like a stabComo un navajazo
The blindfold from my foreheadLa venda de mi frente

They took away my blindnessMe quitaron la ceguera
With a knife of compassionCon un cuchillo de compasión
And today my heart goes aloneY hoy va solo por la acera
Without a guideSin lazarillo mi corazón
All that lieToda esa mentira
I affirm and proveLo afirmo y lo pruebo
And I would tell youY yo te decía
Trying to putQueriendo ponerme
The blindfold back onLa venda de nuevo

You don't have to explain to meNo tienes que darme cuentas
I haven't asked for itQue no te las ha pedío
Who goes through the world gropingQuien va por el mundo a tientas
Carries lost directionsLleva los rumbos perdíos

I'll stick crystal pinsYo me clavaré en los ojos
Into my eyesAlfileres de cristal
So as not to facePa' no verme cara a cara
You and your truthContigo y con tu verdad

Lie at night and dayMiente de noche y de día
And comes to swear falselyY a jurarme en falso llega
Keep lying, my soulSigue mintiendo, alma mía
For I'm loving you blindlyQue te estoy queriendo a ciegas
