A Capa Y Espada

With cape and sword I defended love
That you swore to me with tender illusion
But an old love returned
And its strongest weapon is you

Because in you the affection of those days revived
The caresses and kisses that I gave you
Seeing you convinced, I lowered my sword
My enemy, the past, defeated me

With cape and sword I gave my life
For our love
I fought head-on against the current
But I failed

With cape and sword I lost what I loved
Everything fell
Now all I have is the present
A mortal wound in my heart
