Lágrimas de cristal [English translation]

Of the crystal tears

that you spilled on leaving,

a dream I’m gonna build

To dream it in my loneliness.

Because a match, a man in his life

could never imagine.

The diamonds you cried

I saved.

You might look for

what I gave you.

Because when you search, you will only find sadness.

And seeing that your new love

didn't know how to understand you

In your nights there will be a memory that speaks of me.

Of the crystal tears

that you spilled on leaving,

a dream I’m gonna build

To dream it in my loneliness.

Because a match, a man in his life

could never imagine.

The diamonds you cried

I kept them.

You will see your image in the mirror.

It will be the same one that keeps the shape of your face,

Of your smile, of your crying.

And maybe, somewhere, listen to my voice,

with her you’ll know that your tears,

which for all are vile glass,

For me they’re diamond.

They’re tears, crystal tears.

You moved away from me

and I was crying that goodbye.

Your tears you kept

were diamonds, I saw them.

Because a match, a man in his life

could never imagine.

The diamonds that you cried, I kept them.

The diamonds that you cried, I kept them.
