El crucifijo de piedra [English translation]

When I was just loving her,

when I was feeling she was all mine,

I watched her leave.

She swore to me she would come back,

but it was all just a lie

because her soul was no longer mine.

In the silence of the night

we looked at each other face to face

without words.

She, suddenly, told me

to forget her affection,

that she didn't want to pretend.

It was underneath the crucifix

of a church tower,

when the moon shone upon us.

I held her tight in my arms

with the intention of retaining her

but I was hindered by my pride.

Already alone, by the church

and crying, before the Christ

I went to implore.

On looking at my sadness,

the stone crucifix

began to cry too.
