Maldição [English translation]

What destiny or curse

commands us, my heart?

One so lost from the other

We are two silenced screams

Two unencountered fates

Two separated lovers.

We are two silenced screams

Two unencountered fates

Two separated lovers.

I suffer for you and go on dying

I do not find you nor do I understand you

I love and hate without reason

Heart, when will you tire

of our dead hopes

When will you stop, heart?

Heart, when will you tire

of our dead hopes

When will you stop, heart?

In this fight, this agony

I sing and cry for joy

I am happy and miserable

What a destiny you have, my heart

that you are never satisfied

that you give everything and have nothing

What destiny you have, my heart

that you are never satisfied

that you give everything and have nothing

In the frozen solitude

that you give me, heart

There is no life nor is there death

It is lucidity and folly

to read one's own destiny

without the power to change its path
