Lyrics of La Belleza - Marta Sanchez

La Belleza (original)

La belleza es tan fuerte
La belleza es tan alta
Que te vuelve su esclavo
Que deslumbra mirarla
Tan aguda que hiere
Tan segura que espanta
Tan escasa que algunos
Nunca logran hallarla.
Se disfraza en la noche
Se desnuda en el alba
Se dibuja en el sueão
Se refugia en el alma
Se prolonga en el tiempo
Y en el tiempo se acaba
Nadie puede tenerla
Aunque puedan comprarla.
La belleza es tan breve
La belleza es tan casta
Que hay que andar con cuidado
Para no deshojarla
Es tan pura y tan dulce
Que se mancha con nada
Es un lujo sentirla
Y un delito matarla.
Se disfraza en la noche
Se desnuda en el alba
Se dibuja en el sueão
Se refugia en el alma.
La belleza lo es todo
La belleza no es nada

(translation)

beauty is so strong
beauty is so high
That makes you his slave
How dazzling to look at her
so sharp it hurts
So sure that it scares
so scarce that some
They never find her.
She dresses up at night
She undresses at dawn
She draws herself in the dream
She takes refuge in the soul
She stretches out in time
And in time it runs out
no one can have it
Although they can buy it.
beauty is so brief
beauty is so chaste
that you have to be careful
So as not to strip it
She is so pure and so sweet
That she gets stained with nothing
It is a luxury to feel it
And a crime to kill her.
She dresses up at night
She undresses at dawn
It is drawn in the dream
She takes refuge in the soul.
beauty is everything
beauty is nothing
