Una mentira piadosa [English translation]

I know I lied when I talked

about our future wedding

because her life is turning off

in the stillness of the room

but I achieved that her face

turned from white to pink

and a smile fastened

this merciful lie.

Her hands were pale iris

that softly held mine

while at heaven in her delirium

I asked for me her agony

I put the ring in her finger

while my trembling voice

was saying in a low voice

a merciful lie

Was saying in a low voice

a merciful....... lie

lie, lie, for your love.
