When you open your eyes
I'll be far away
don't keep the letter I'm leaving over the bureau (chest)
I don't want it to be a harmful witness
of this cruel failure, in spite of our love
not even the kiss I'm leaving as good-bye
will open those eyes that I worship with passion.
You'll still be asleep, while I leave
when you open your eyes and wish to embrace me
you'll find the emptiness which has taken my place
but in this letter I surrender my heart to you.
My love, resigning to you is resigning to life
and, do you know why? because I leave my life behind with you
Yes, I know you'll cry
and that hurts me, but doesn't stop me
because I do this for you, and tomorrow,
when you give life to another love
the child that we longed for so much, and I couldn't give you
for the reason we both know,
and if with your tears you curse me, you will bless me in the future
and you'll remember this night
this night of love and tears
Farewell my love
and remember me, forever
Not even the kiss I'm leaving as good-bye
will open those eyes that I worship with passion.
You'll still be asleep, while I leave
when you open your eyes and wish to embrace me
you'll find the emptiness which has taken my place
but in this letter I surrender my heart to you.
