[English]

when I die

the flower of your charm

when I surrender

life, your pride

when you try

the salt of your tears

only I will keep being yours

when it's already

when men no longer look at you

nor your walk

provokes a whisper

when nobody

remembers your name

only I will keep being yours, my love

...

only I

will keep being yours

as you will continue being mine

and I swear to you

that despite my pride

that you won't leave my life, not even in death

when it falls

the curtain of this farce

our love

will sing with joy

and there will be a sky

of blue processions

announcing

your happiness and mine

...

[Spanish]

cuando muera

la flor de tu encanto

cuando rinda

la vida tu orgullo

cuando pruebes

la sal de tu llanto

solo yo seguire siendo tuyo

cuando ya

no te miren los hombres

ni tu paso

provoque murmullo

cuando nadie

recuerde tu nombre

solo yo seguire siendo tuyo mi amor

solo yo

seguire siendo tuyo

como tu seguiras siendo mia

y te juro

que apesar de mi orgullo

que ni muerta saldras de mi vida

cuando caiga

el telon de esta farsa

nuestro amor

cantara de alegria

y habra un cielo

de azules comparsas

anunciando

tu dicha y la mia
