Translation of the song lyrics Santa Elegia - Carlos Vives

Santa Elegia (original)

En la triste noche
de Santa Elegía
respiraban hondo
la amarga alegría
bebieron a fondo
ninguna salida
y encendido el odio
se apagó la vida.
Se miró durmiendo
nada comprendía
descubrió la historia
que estaba perdida
remontó las nubes
camino a la vida
beso a la princesa
que estaba dormida.
Tú sabes que yo te quiero
con toda el alma
quisiera vivir contigo
todos los días
después de la tempestad
llegará la calma
y el sol que ya nos florece vida mía

Santa Elegia (translation)

in the sad night
of Holy Elegy
they took a deep breath
the bitter joy
they drank deeply
no way out
and turned on the hate
life was extinguished.
She looked at herself sleeping
she understood nothing
she discovered the story
that she was lost
she climbed the clouds
road to life
kiss the princess
that she was asleep.
You know that I love you
with all the soul
I would like to live with you
every day
after the storm
calm will come
and the sun that already blooms for us, my life
