Lyla

I drew near to the house of Layla
It was then I heard her call
Her sweet voice made me wish that it would never end at all
Oh you say you see some good in me
It's only from her light
Take this being gone from me, don't look to her delight
She was pleased with me, she drew me nearer
She took me into her retreat
Oh she kept my company, she spoke to me
She let me sit at her feet
Oh Layla Layla Layla Layla
Oh Layla Layla Layla Layla
Layla Layla Layla Layla
Layla Layla Layla Layla

And then she came close to me, the veils fell from my sight
She dazzled me, she bewildered me
Confused me with her light
Well you say you see some good in me, it's only from her light
Take this being gone from me
Don't look to her delight
And then she took me, and then she possessed me
She showed her meaning to me
I thought my soul would be her ransom
I thought that she was me
Oh Layla Layla Layla Layla
Oh Layla Layla Layla Layla

And then she slew me, she tore me to pieces
Her blood stained like a die
And when I was dead, she brought me to life
My star shone in her sky
Oh Layla Layla Layla Layla
Layla Layla Layla Layla
Layla Layla Layla Layla
Oh Layla Layla Layla Layla

Lyla

Me acerqué a la casa de Lyla
Fue entonces cuando la escuché llamar
Su dulce voz me hizo desear que nunca terminara
Oh dices que ves algo bueno en mí
Es solo por su luz
Toma este ser lejos de mí, no busques su deleite
Ella estaba contenta conmigo, me acercó
Me llevó a su refugio
Oh ella me acompañó, me habló
Me dejó sentarme a sus pies
Oh Lyla Lyla Lyla Lyla
Oh Lyla Lyla Lyla Lyla
Lyla Lyla Lyla Lyla
Lyla Lyla Lyla Lyla

Y luego ella se acercó a mí, los velos cayeron de mis ojos
Me deslumbró, me desconcertó
Me confundió con su luz
Bueno, dices que ves algo bueno en mí, es solo por su luz
Toma este ser lejos de mí
No busques su deleite
Y luego me tomó, y luego me poseyó
Me mostró su significado
Pensé que mi alma sería su rescate
Pensé que ella era yo
Oh Lyla Lyla Lyla Lyla
Oh Lyla Lyla Lyla Lyla

Y luego me mató, me destrozó en pedazos
Su sangre manchada como un dado
Y cuando estaba muerto, me trajo a la vida
Mi estrella brillaba en su cielo
Oh Lyla Lyla Lyla Lyla
Lyla Lyla Lyla Lyla
Lyla Lyla Lyla Lyla
Oh Lyla Lyla Lyla Lyla
