[English]

My love

From the first and faithful embrace

My dark and cruel melancholy sank forever into the sunset

My dark and cruel melancholy

My love

You erased my distrust

Reviving my hopes

When I never expected it

I'm all yours

And you, my love, have understood

Seeing me this way

My pride surrendered to your whims

I don't fear going into the abyss in frenzy

If you don't push me away from your bosom

Bride of everything

My selfishness

...

I'm all yours

And you, my love, have understood

Seeing me this way

My pride surrendered to your whims

I don't fear going into the abyss in frenzy

If you don't push me away from your bosom

Bride of everything

My selfishness

...

[Spanish]

Novia mía

Desde el primer y fiel abrazo

Se hundió por siempre en el ocaso

Mi negra y cruel melancolía

Novia mía

Borraste en mí la desconfianza

Reviviendo mis esperanzas

Cuando jamás lo presentía

Soy muy tuyo

Y tú mi amor lo has comprendido

Al ver así

Así rendido a tus caprichos mi orgullo

Al abismo no temo ir en desenfreno

Si no me apartas de tu seno

Novia de todo

Mi egoísmo

Soy muy tuyo

Y tú mi amor lo has comprendido

Al ver así

Así rendido a tus caprichos mi orgullo

Al abismo no temo ir en desenfreno

Si no me apartas de tu seno

Novia de todo

Mi egoísmo
