Alondra [English translation]

Lark,

I let you eat from my hands,

I lulled you to sleep in my arms

and it was all in vain.

Lark,

my dreams fled under your wings,

my crazy desires

left together with you.

Lark,

if you have taken me with you

to the place you have gone…

Now I search the way blindly…

Lark, Lark,

you were as cruel to me as no one else,

but I don’t forget you,

nor I bear you any grudge.

Lark, Lark,

if you saw my thoughts

that blow like the wind,

following your flight…

Lark,

If they tell you that I suffer and wait,

come to me, ‘cause I’m worn-out,

come to me, ‘cause I can’t.

Lark,

if you miss an eave,

come back, I wait for you,

your nest is here.

Lark, Lark,

I let you eat from my hands,

I lulled you to sleep in my arms

and now I’m dying because of you.
