Esmeralda
Tankeone Lyrics

La primera ves que la mire fue en un café
The first time I saw her was in a café

Yo ahí note sus hermosos ojos que tenían un "No se que"
I noticed her beautiful eyes that had an inexplicable something

Me di cuenta al instante que supe que hasta ser mortal
I instantly realized that even as a mortal

Era imposible no querer más como adicto al cristal
It was impossible not to love her more like a crystal addict

Me acerque "Mi nombre es José" y contesto "Esmeralda"
I approached her and said, "My name is José" and she replied, "Esmeralda"

Sus ojos verdes pero negros hasta la espalda
Her green eyes, but as dark as her soul

Con minifalda, le propuse otro lugar
With a short skirt, I suggested another place

Y aceptó, de ahí nos fuimos a tomar por ahí un bar
And she accepted, from there we went to have a drink at a bar

Ya ha pasado un par de semanas desde aquel día
A couple of weeks have passed since that day

Esmeralda es un manjar y ella ya es mía
Esmeralda is a delicacy and she is already mine

Yo miraba sus ojos de noche y día
I looked into her eyes day and night

Prometía amor eterno que siempre sería mía
She promised eternal love, that she would always be mine

Por tus ojos soy capas de bajar al mismo infierno
Because of your eyes, I am capable of going to hell

O de convertirme en el hombre mas tierno
Or of becoming the most tender man

Adicto a tus ojos y perfume de amapola
Addicted to your eyes and the scent of poppies

Dijo "Mis ojos son tuyos pero no me dejes sola"
She said, "My eyes are yours, but don't leave me alone"

El brillo de los ojos de Esmeralda le domina
The sparkle in Esmeralda's eyes dominates him

Los celos lo consumen, la cuida cuando camina
Jealousy consumes him, he watches over her when she walks

Su felina, si mira a otro lado, muere de envidia
His feline, if she looks elsewhere, he dies of envy

Con ganas de matar a cualquiera que se le arrima
Eager to kill anyone who gets close to her

Con el odio de su alma y poder de la decadencia
With the hatred in his soul and the power of decadence

José estaba enfermo de su cabeza
José was sick in the head

Se pone como loco cuando marca y no contesta
He goes crazy when he calls and she doesn't answer

Sera que esta con otro y no cumple su promesa
Maybe she's with someone else and not keeping her promise

Confiesa, ella sola en su cuarto llorando reza
Confesses, she alone in her room, crying and praying

No habla de esto a nadie, solita con su conciencia
She doesn't talk to anyone about this, alone with her conscience

No estar con este hombre seria la diferencia
Not being with this man would make a difference

El miedo la tiene atada al borde de la demencia
Fear keeps her tied to the edge of madness

¿Pero cómo dejarlo? Sin dejar evidencia
But how to leave him? Without leaving evidence

¿Pero cómo? Si duerme y hasta sueña su presencia
But how? If she sleeps and even dreams of his presence

Un día todo cambio, se empapo de valentía
One day everything changed, she soaked in courage

Lo citó para decirle que lo de ellos no era vida
She invited him to tell him that what they had was not a life

¿Cómo es que me haces esto? Y quebrantas nuestros sueños
How can you do this to me? And shatter our dreams

Si hace poco acordamos que tus ojos ya tiene dueño
If not long ago we agreed that your eyes already have an owner

No comprendo como piensas tirarlo a la basura
I don't understand how you can throw it away

Mi niña, mi felina, tu ausencia me tortura
My girl, my feline, your absence tortures me

Mi alma era obscura y tu presencia la ilumina
My soul was dark, and your presence illuminated it

La decisión que has tomado, mi corazón fulmina
The decision you have made crushes my heart

De rodillas exclamé "Te juro voy a cambiar"
On my knees I exclaimed, "I swear I will change"

Pon un tajante "No" Esto tiene que acabar
Give me a firm "No" This has to end

Le pedí una noche mas y la dejaría en paz
I asked for one more night and then I would leave her alone

Yo la dejaría partir, volvería a su libertad
I would let her go, return to her freedom

Cerraríamos el circulo, brindando en un motel
We would close the circle, toasting in a motel

La fusión de amor y odio, transitaba por mi piel
The fusion of love and hate was coursing through my skin

Brindamos por el pasado, ella cayo desmayada
We raised a toast to the past, she fell unconscious

Y cuatro horas despertó, gritaba "¡No veo nada!"
And four hours later she woke up, screaming "I can't see anything!"

No entendió que había pasado, perdió un solo sentido
She didn't understand what had happened, she lost one sense

Esmeralda ya eres libre, cumpliste lo prometido
Esmeralda, you are now free, you fulfilled your promise
