Yo Soy Esa

I was the dawn light, foam of the river,
Golden candle placed on an altar;
I was many things that have already been lost
In the sands of my will.
And now I am the same as a dog without an owner,
Sniffing the place where it will die..
If someone asks me what my name is,
I shrug my shoulders and answer like this:

I am... that one...
That dark carnation
That goes from corner to corner
Turning back my head.
They call me Carmen the same,
As Lolilla or Pila;
With whatever they want to call me
I have to conform.
I am the one without a name,
The one no one cares about,
The downfall of men,
The one who lies when she kisses.
Yes... he knows... I am... that one...

A good little boy, drunk on the moon,
Could have been the salvation of my soul;
"As I love you, I didn't love anyone else;
I offer you the rose of my heart"
And I, lying to earn my way,
Felt proud of that affection
And to pay him back for what he wanted from me,
With four words I disillusioned him.

I am... that one...
That dark carnation
That goes from corner to corner
Turning back my head.
They call me Carmen the same,
As Lolilla or Pila;
With whatever they want to call me
I have to conform.
I am the one without a name,
The one no one cares about,
The downfall of men,
The one who lies when she kisses.
Yes... he knows... I am... that one...
