El Antifaz
Willie Rosario
The Mask
The mask that covered your face
Fell to expose you as you are
I thought you were different from other women
And I was happy thinking you were mine
But that mask, luckily
Was not a velvet mask
When unveiling the veil of your existence
It showed me your infamies, one by one
Oh, divine mask, oh, my best friend
You who witnessed her deceitful life
Do not cover another divine face
That destiny offers us to make us suffer
Kill you? Why? I'm not that foolish
Curse you? No
Who intends to cast a curse on the offender?
When they don't even deserve contempt
You will continue your life, I will continue mine
Suffering similar disappointments
And perhaps with the passing of the years
I may find you in my path again one day
And if you come to me like the beggars,
I will give you whatever you want
Because I promised the divine mask you carried with you
To help the beggar without looking back.
