Español
English
Verdemar... Verdemar...
Se llenaron de silencio tus pupilas.
Te perdí, Verdemar.
Tus manos amarillas, tus labios sin color
y el frío de la noche sobre tu corazón.
Faltas tú, ya no estás,
se apagaron tus pupilas, Verdemar.

Te encontré sin pensarlo y alegré mis días,
olvidando la angustia de las horas mías.
Pero luego la vida se ensañó contigo
y en tus labios mis besos se morían de frío.
Y ahora... ¿qué rumbo tomaré?
Caminos sin aurora me pierden otra vez.

Volverás, Verdemar...
Es el alma que presiente tu retorno.
Llegarás, llegarás...
Por un camino blanco tu espíritu vendrá
Buscando mi cansancio y aquí me encontrarás.
Faltas tú... Ya no estás...
Se apagaron tus pupilas, Verdemar.

Greensea... Greensea...
Your eyes filled with silence.
I lost you, Greensea.
Your yellow hands, your colourless lips
And the cold of the night in your heart.
You are missing, you are here no more,
The light in your eyes has died out, Greensea.

I found you without thinking, and livened up my days,
Forgetting the pain of my hours.
But then life was merciless with you
And my kisses died of cold on your lips
And now... which way shall I go?
I am lost again in roads without dawn.

You’ll come back, Greensea...
It’s the soul that can feel your return.
You’ll be back, you’ll be back...
Your spirit will come on a white road
In search of my weariness, and here you will find.
You are missing...You are here no more...
The light in your eyes has died out, Greensea.
