Carta de luto [English translation]

oh I send you this letter of mourning

to tell you how much I feel

the love that I have for you is so great

that I feel my dead heart

this letter is written with blood

but don’t think it’s for lack of ink

I just want you to see her understand

that my withered life is found

Yes, I write this letter of mourning to you

because sadness and black is my fate

but I’ll finally console myself

because God sent me this way

when this letter reaches your hands

I just wanna ask you a favor

that you pay close attention to what it says

for the relief of my heart

when you hear the bells ring

of the clock in front of the mausoleum

I just want you to look at the sky

and take a prayer for me

Yes, I write this letter of mourning to you

because sadness and black is my fate

but I’ll finally console myself

because God sent me this way
