El Antifaz

The Mask

El Antifaz

The mask that covered your faceEl antifaz que tu mata cubría
Fell to expose you as you areCayó para exhibirte tal como eres
I thought you were different from other womenYo te creí distinta a otras mujeres
And I was happy thinking you were mineY fui feliz pensando que eras mía

But that mask, luckilyPero aquel antifaz que por fortuna
Was not a velvet maskNo fuera un antifaz de terciopelo
When unveiling the veil of your existenceAl descorrer de tu existencia el velo
It showed me your infamies, one by oneMe mostró tus infamias, una a una

Oh, divine mask, oh, my best friendOh, divino antifaz, oh, mi mejor amigo
You who witnessed her deceitful lifeTu que fuiste testigo de su vida falaz
Do not cover another divine faceNo vuelvas a cubrir otro rostro divino
That destiny offers us to make us sufferQue nos brinde el destino para hacernos sufrir

Kill you? Why? I'm not that foolish¿matarte? ¿para que? no soy tan necio
Curse you? No¿maldecirte? tampoco
Who intends to cast a curse on the offender?¿quién pretende lanzar su maldición a la que ofende?
When they don't even deserve contemptCuando no se merece ni el desprecio

You will continue your life, I will continue mineTu seguirás tu vida, yo la mía
Suffering similar disappointmentsSufriendo parecidos desengaños
And perhaps with the passing of the yearsY quizás con el paso de los años
I may find you in my path again one dayVuelva a encontrarte en mi camino un día

And if you come to me like the beggars,Y si llegaras a mí como las pordioseras,
I will give you whatever you wantTe daré lo que quieras
Because I promised the divine mask you carried with youPorque yo prometí al divino antifaz que llevabas contigo
To help the beggar without looking back.Socorrer al mendigo sin mirar hacia atrás.
