Ángel para un final [English translation]

They say that when a silence

appears between two,

it was that an angel

stole their voices.

And, that day, such silence came,

the day that we had to forget.

what, in such a luck,

I still

hadn't finished quieting up.

Everything started in the surprise,

in a casual encounter,

but the night is roguish

when the luck is woven.

Without realizing it, we make an oblation

that makes a pact with the pain

or an angel passes,

it's made into a legend

and it becomes love.

Now I understand

who was the angel

who passed between us.

It was the most terrible

the rentless

the fiercest.

Now I fully understand

this mortal silence.

Angel that passes,

kisses and embraces you,

angel for an ending.
