El amor acaba [English translation]

Because the soul becomes empty

Like a pitcher in the sky.

Love ends!

Because it slips away softly

Like a shadow, a caress.

Love ends!

Because sorrow is smoke

And words are ash.

Love ends!

Because the heart of surrender,

A day comes that it breaks.

Love ends!

Because they become chains,

What were once white ribbons.

Love ends!

Because it becomes routine,

The most divine caress.

Love ends!

Because we are like rivers,

The water new every moment.

Love ends!

Because they die, the desires

For flesh and for kisses.

Love ends!

Because time has fissures,

Because the soul has fissures,

Because nothing is forever,

And even beauty becomes tiresome.
