Lyrics
Santa, más que santa,
Magdalena humilde,
en este 'via crucis'
al que te llevé,
tu has sido testigo
de todo el fracaso
y has visto en silencio
quebrarse mi fe.

Quise darte todo,
lo que merecías,
y tan solo migas,
te pude ofrecer,
por eso esta noche,
que renuncio a todo,
Magdala perdona,
la última hiel.

Mis manos vacías
sólo apresan sombras,
mis ojos en sombras,
sólo sombras ven.
Y en esta locura
de sombras y muerte,
sellada mi suerte,
espero tu bien.

Que esta noche sea,
para tu martirio,
la última noche,
el punto final.
Y firme mi pulso
le dejé a tus alas,
abiertas las puertas,
de la libertad.
English translation
Saint, more than a saint,
Humble Magdalene,
in this 'via crucis
to which I led you,
you have been witness
of all the failure
and you have seen in silence
my faith break down.

I wanted to give you everything,
what you deserved,
and only crumbs,
I could offer you,
that's why tonight,
I renounce everything,
Magdala forgives,
the last gall.

My empty hands
only catch shadows,
my eyes in shadows,
only shadows see.
And in this madness
of shadows and death,
sealed my fate,
I hope for your good.

May this night be,
for your martyrdom,
the last night,
the final point.
And steady my pulse
I left to your wings,
open the doors,
of freedom.

The Cabeceo
