My sighs are like a cry
From my soul, God help me,
Faithful witnesses of the agony
That's burning my heart
In the night of my misfortune there is not
Even a little star that comes to light up
This path of eternal bitterness
Which, sad and dark,
I don't know where [it] goes...
This path of eternal bitterness
Which, sad and dark,
I don't know where [it] goes...
Chorus:
Tower of sand
That my love knew how to build
Tower of sand
Where my life wanted to remain
Night without moon,
River without water, flower without smell...
All is a lie, all is a delusion
All is a madness of my pain
Like a flower which loses its petals to the wind
My heart is dying
And little by little my suffering
Is carrying away all my love
Like a spring, silent and lifeless
Like a little ship that loses its helm
Like a flower taken from a rosebush
It's painful
My poor delusion...
Like a flower taken from a rosebush
It's painful
My poor delusion...
{Chorus}
