Lyrics
Te forjé con mis sueños en flor
tal vez me equivoqué... pero eso es el amor...
No debía creerte y te creía
la máscara vacía... vacío el corazón.
Lloras...
lástima de llanto sin dolor,
dado en pago de este amor...
de este amor desesperado y
equivocado, como yo...

Vieja historia repetida,
por los sueños juveniles,
qué momento te dio vida
la cajita de buriles...
que me hundiste en la caída.
Hielo seco...
de tu amor que me ha quemado
verso inútil, fruto hueco,
fuiste un eco sin pasado...
vieja historia repetida
del amor de Pigmalión.

Yo no sé si fue azar o qué fue,
lo cierto es que te amé
y allí nació el adiós...
y por eso me acosa noche y día
tú máscara vacía
de arcilla sin color...
Lejos, donde está el fracaso del amor,
te ajarás como una flor,
pobrecita, abandonada
y equivocada como yo…
English translation
I forged you with my dreams in bloom
maybe I was wrong... but that's what love is...
I shouldn't have believed you and I believed you
the empty mask... empty the heart.
You cry...
pity of weeping without pain..,
given in payment for this love...
of this desperate and
wrong, like me...

Old history repeated,
by youthful dreams,
what moment gave you life
the little box of burins...
that you plunged me in the fall.
Dry ice...
of your love that burned me
useless verse, hollow fruit,
you were an echo without a past...
old story repeated
of Pygmalion's love.

I don't know if it was chance or what it was,
what is certain is that I loved you
and there the goodbye was born...
and that's why I'm haunted night and day
your empty mask
of colorless clay...
Far away, where the failure of love is..,
you will fade like a flower,
poor thing, abandoned
and mistaken like me...
