Carín León
Ojos Cerrados (English Translation)
I know I promised myself
To be more careful choosing
Who I gave my heart to
I know I swore to limit myself
When it came to giving
My feelings all at once
When I met you
I forgot to follow
The plan of not falling in love
Now I can’t be without you
I didn’t want to drink anymore
But I took you by the hand
How could I have imagined
That you’d end up letting me go?
You said you loved me
That you’d give me everything
But you didn’t say when
I didn’t want to try alcohol
But I tried your lips
I couldn’t help myself
And kissing you cost me
The pain opened my eyes
And I, that loved you
Even with my eyes closed
I didn’t want to drink anymore
But I took you by the hand
How could I have imagined
That you’d end up letting me go?
You said you loved me
That you’d give me everything
But you didn’t say when
I didn’t want to try alcohol
But I tried your lips
I couldn’t help myself
And kissing you cost me
The pain opened my eyes
And I, that loved you
Even with my eyes closed
