Lyrics
No...
ni es cielo ni es azul,
ni es cierto tu candor,
ni al fin tu juventud.
Tú compras el carmín
y el pote de rubor
que tiembla en tus mejillas,
y ojeras con verdín
para llenar de amor
tu máscara de arcilla.

Tú,
que tímida y fatal
te arreglas el dolor
después de sollozar,
sabrás cómo te amé,
un día al despertar
sin fe ni maquillaje,
ya lista para el viaje
que desciende hasta el color final...

Mentiras...
son mentiras tu virtud,
tu amor y tu bondad
y al fin tu juventud.
Mentiras...
¡te maquillaste el corazón!
¡Mentiras sin piedad!
¡Qué lástima de amor!
English translation
No...
it is neither sky nor blue,
nor is your candor true,
nor at last your youth.
You buy the lipstick
and the pot of blush
that trembles on your cheeks,
and dark circles with verdigris
to fill with love
your clay mask.

Thou,
who timid and fatal
you mend your pain
after sobbing,
you will know how I loved you,
one day when I woke up
without faith or makeup,
already ready for the journey
that descends to the final color...

Lies...
lies are your virtue,
your love and your kindness
and at last your youth.
Lies...
you made up your heart!
Lies without mercy!
What a pity of love!
