Lyrics
Recuerdo fue una noche
Bordada de estrellas,
Nos conocimos tú y yo,
Y al misterioso encanto
La dulce querella
Te fue nimbando de amor.
Te acurruqué en mi pecho
Besando tu pelo,
Y tuve miedo, no sé
Que me negaras tus labios
Para calmar tanta sed.
 
Igual que dos palomas
Vivíamos tú y yo,
Mis pasos tú seguías
Tus pasos yo guiaba,
Tu vida era mi vida
Mi amor era tu amor,
Igual que dos palomas
Volaste un negro día,
Tus alas se quebraron
Y el cielo enmudeció.
 
Tu imagen me persigue
Te veo en las sombras,
¡Cómo deseo morir!
El viento susurrando
Te llama, te nombra
Para qué quiero vivir.
Cuando llega la noche
Bordada de estrellas,
Ruego pidiendo al confín
Que marque pronto mi huella
Para volar junto a ti.
English translation
I remember it was a night
Embroidered with stars,
You and I met,
And to the mysterious enchantment
The sweet quarrel
I nimbued you with love.
I snuggled you to my breast
Kissing your hair,
And I was afraid, I don't know
That you would deny me your lips
To quench so much thirst.
 
Like two doves
You and I lived,
My steps you followed
Your steps I guided,
Your life was my life
My love was your love,
Like two doves
You flew one black day,
Your wings broke
And the sky fell silent.
 
Your image haunts me
I see you in the shadows,
How I long to die!
The wind whispering
It calls you, it names you
What I want to live for.
When the night comes
Embroidered with stars,
I pray to the end
To mark my footprint soon
To fly with you.
