Esta Cobardía [English translation]

She doesn't even realize that when I look at her,

not to give myself away, I hold back a sigh,

that just by looking at her, my silent love ignites

That I would give my life to make her mine.

She doesn't even realize that my eyes shine,

that I tremble and even blush by her side;

that she is the reason that awakens my love

that she is my delirium, and she doesn't realize it.

This cowardice of my love for her

makes me see her as if she were a star,

so far from reality, so far

that I have no hope to reach her, ever. (2x)

She doesn't even notice that she always had

the thousands of kisses she never asked for,

that in my sad nights, deserted by sleep,

in crazy desire, I feel I'm her beloved.

She doesn't even notice that I already enjoyed her

that, without possessing her, she has already been mine,

that her cold soul is what torments me,

that she sees I'm dying, and she doesn't notice.

This cowardice of my love for her

makes me see her as if she were a star,

so far from reality, so far

that I have no hope to reach her, ever.
