Lyrics
Desatando los recuerdos del ayer,
en la triste realidad de mi vivir,
escuché tu voz distante y mi querer
sollozó en la sombra larga de tu olvido.
Bajo el soplo agonizante de la tarde
caen las hojas del otoño junto a mí.
Estoy solo en mi dolor y tengo miedo
de esta ausencia que me aleja más de ti.

En tus locos afanes de vuelo
te has quebrado las alas, mariposa.
Y en la pobre orfandad de tus anhelos,
pretendiste ocultar tu gran derrota.
Mariposa sin alas sólo eres
una sombra perdida en el espacio.
Yo quisiera borrar tu desventura
en la humilde tibieza de mis brazos.
English translation
Untying the memories of yesterday,
in the sad reality of my life,
I heard your distant voice and my love
sobbed in the long shadow of your oblivion.
Under the agonizing breath of the afternoon
the autumn leaves fall beside me.
I am alone in my pain and I am afraid
of this absence that takes me further away from you.

In your crazy flight eagerness
you have broken your wings, butterfly.
And in the poor orphanage of your yearnings,
you pretended to hide your great defeat.
Wingless butterfly you are only
a shadow lost in space.
I would like to erase your misfortune
in the humble warmth of my arms.
