I should have been shattered, slitting my wrists
When before the sighs of my song
My wild flesh was frozen, suspended in air
By words I'd never heard before.
.
Just thinking of it gives me chills.
How blind I was!
When your eyes spoke to mine, saying:
Give me Alms of Love, Dolores,
Give it for charity;
Place flowers on my Cross, Dolores,
You'll receive your reward from God.
.
Don't deny me, my rough girl, what I thirst for
Grant the Samaritan's mercy on my bitterness of life
.
Have you no pity for my tears, Dolores?
Have you no pity for me?
Give me Alms of Love, my Dolores
Give it before I die.
I don't need your worthless riches
Nor do I want your beggar's vows
It's enough, too much, your river of tears,
Seeing you eaten by pain and regret.
.
But you, in your life,
Could never, ever know
I was already in the same agony
Of wanting you too.
Give me Alms of Love, Dolores,
Give it for charity;
Place flowers on my Cross, Dolores,
You'll receive your reward from God.
.
Don't deny me, my rough girl, what I thirst for
Grant the Samaritan's mercy on my bitterness of life
.
Have you no pity for my tears, Dolores?
Have you no pity for me?
Give me Alms of Love, my Dolores
Give it before I die.
Give me Alms of Love, Dolores,
Give it for charity;
Place flowers on my Cross, Dolores,
You'll receive your reward from God.
.
Don't deny me, my rough girl, what I thirst for
Grant the Samaritan's mercy on my bitterness of life
.
Have you no pity for my tears, Dolores?
Have you no pity for me?
Give me Alms of Love, my Dolores
Give it before I die.
