Lyrics of El Crucifijo De Piedra (The Crucifix of Stone) - Linda Ronstadt

El Crucifijo De Piedra (The Crucifix of Stone) (original)

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

(translation)

when i was wanting it
When she was feeling it
All of mine I saw him leave
I swear I was coming back
But it was all a lie
Because her soul was not mine anymore
in the silent night
We look at each other
Face to face, without speaking
When she suddenly told me
that he will forget his love
that he did not want to deceive me
It was under the crucifix
From the tower of a church
When the moon albumbro us
I held him in my arms
eager to stop
But the pride prevented me
Alone in front of the church
and crying
Before Christ I went to implore
Contemplating my sadness
The stone crucifix
He also started to cry
