"El Crucifijo De Piedra"
(Antonio y Roberto Cantoral)

Cuando lo estaba queriendo
Cuando lo estaba sintiendo
Todito mio lo vi partir
Me juro que regresaba
Pero todo era mentira
Porque ya su alma no era de mi
En la noche silenciosa
Nos miramos
Frente a frente, sin hablar
Cuando me dijo de pronto
Que olvidira su carino
Que no me queria enganar
Fue bajo del crucifijo
De la torre de una iglesia
Cuando la luna nos albumbro
Yo lo estreche entre mis brazos
Con ganas de detenerio
Pero el orgullo me lo impidio
Ya sola frente a la iglesia
Y llorando
Ante el Cristo... fui a implorar
Al contemplar mi tristeza
El crucifijo de piedra
Tambien se puso a llorar


[The Crucifix Of Stone]

When I was loving him
When I was feeling he was all mine
I saw him leave
He swore he would return to me
But it was all a lie
Because his soul was not mine
In the silence of the night
We looked at each other
Face to face
Without speaking
When suddenly he told me to forget his affection
Because he didn't want to deceive me
It was under the crucifix of the church tower
I reached out my arms to stop him
But pride got in my way
There alone
In front of the church
Crying
Before Christ... I began to plead
When contemplating my sadness
The crucifix of stone
Was also crying
