Santa Elegia - Carlos Vives

En la triste noche

de Santa Elegía

respiraban hondo

la amarga alegría

bebieron a fondo

ninguna salida

y encendido el odio

se apagó la vida.

Se miró durmiendo

nada comprendía

descubrió la historia

que estaba perdida

remontó las nubes

camino a la vida

beso a la princesa

que estaba dormida.

Tú sabes que yo te quiero

con toda el alma

quisiera vivir contigo

todos los días

después de la tempestad

llegará la calma

y el sol que ya nos florece vida mía

in the sad night

of Holy Elegy

they took a deep breath

the bitter joy

they drank deeply

no way out

and turned on the hate

life was extinguished.

She looked at herself sleeping

she understood nothing

she discovered the story

that she was lost

she climbed the clouds

road to life

kiss the princess

that she was asleep.

You know that I love you

with all the soul

I would like to live with you

every day

after the storm

calm will come

and the sun that already blooms for us, my life
