Secreto

On this sad afternoon I wait for you,
You will come to me with your tenderness;
I will tell you how much I love you
Squeezing your hands gently.

Because I love you, you know; you ignore it.
The love in my chest is hidden;
The times you have told me you adore me
Haven't you noticed that I have smiled?

However, you have not guessed
The mystery behind this smile;
It wants to hide how much I have cried
It's a sob that wants to be laughter. (x2)

You, only you, although it may seem strange, will be able
To heal this secret wound,
This wound that hurts me so much
As it symbolizes a lost illusion.

You with the blue magic of your tenderness,
Will protect my wounded youth
And make roses of joy bloom
In the dark tree of my life.

However, you have not guessed
The mystery behind this smile;
It wants to hide how much I have cried
It's a sob that wants to be laughter.
