Lyrics of Esta Cobardía - Los Panchos

Esta Cobardía (original)

No se da ni cuenta que cuando la miro
por no delatarme me guardo el suspiro,
que mi amor callado se enciende con verla
que diera la vida para poseerla.
No se da ni cuenta que brillan mis ojos
que tiemblo a su lado y hasta me sonrojo,
que ella es el motivo que mi amor despierta
que ella es mi delirio y no se da cuenta.
Esta cobardía de mi amor por ella
hace que la vea igual que a una estrella,
tan lejos, tan lejos de la realidad
que no espero nunca poderla alcanzar.
No se da ni cuenta que siempre ha tenido
los miles de besos que no me ha pedido,
en mis noches tristes desiertas de sueños
que en loco deseo me siento su dueño.
No se da ni cuenta que ya la he tomado
que ya ha sido mía sin haberla amado,
que es su alma fría la que me atormenta
que ve que me muero y no se da cuenta.
Esta cobardía de mi amor por ella
hace que la vea igual que a una estrella,
tan lejos, tan lejos de la realidad
que no espero nunca poderla alcanzar.

(translation)

She doesn't even notice that when I look at her
for not giving myself away, I keep my sigh to myself,
that my silent love turns on seeing her
that she would give her life to possess it.
He does not even realize that my eyes shine
that I tremble at her side and I even blush,
that she is the reason that my love awakens
that she is my delirium and she doesn't realize it.
This cowardice of my love for her
makes me see her the same as a star,
so far, so far from reality
that I never hope to achieve.
She doesn't even realize that she has always had
the thousands of kisses that she has not asked me,
in my sad nights deserted by dreams
that in mad desire I feel its owner of it.
He doesn't even realize that I've already taken it
that she has already been mine without having loved her,
that it is her cold soul of hers that torments me
that she sees that I'm dying and she doesn't realize it.
This cowardice of my love for her
makes me see her the same as a star,
so far, so far from reality
that I never hope to achieve.
