LACRIMOSA - JUAN LUIS GUERRA

Lacrimosa
(Juan Luis Guerra -- Inspired by "Lacrimosa" from the Requiem of Mozart)

Sueño
es todo lo que queda de ti
una cruel ilusión
que marchita mi vida
Eres
un rosario que nunca rezó
un enredo fatal
que me arrastra sin camino
Canto
la amargura de mi corazón
hoy me queda un hilito de luz
y lo pierdo contigo
Santa
yo te hacía bendita, mujer
pero se equivocó mi querer
y me hundo en el olvido
Lacrimosa
un puñal es tu cariño
no me lo claves que aún vivo
curando las noches
de amor que te di
quiero beberme tus ojos
llorarlos sin fin
Lacrimosa
ni un pañuelo me has dejado
para secar el pasado
de besos mojados
que hoy suda mi piel
quiero beberme tu boca
besarte, mujer
Oh...
Quiero
me devuelvas el pacto de amor
que la luna celosa nos dio
sobre un papel de arena
Vete
si te dicen que pierdo razón
es que en mi corazón
la verdad miente de pena
Si te alejas, vida...

Nota: El último fragmento de música de la mano de Mozart son los ocho primeros compases de "Lacrimosa". La pieza, al igual que varias otras secciones del Réquiem, fue completada por su alumno Franz Xaver Süssmayr.


Lacrimosa (Teary-Eyed)
A dream --
All of you is a cruel illusion
That has withered my life.

You are:
A rosary that entangled me
And holds me back, making me lose my way

A song,
It's the bitterness of my heart.
Today I have left only a single ray of light
I lose it and with it, you

A saint!
I blessed you, woman,
But I was mistaken,
And I need to sink into forgetfulness.

In tears,
Your love is a dagger
That stabs me, but still keeps me alive,
Curing the nights of love that I gave you.
I want to drink your eyes
To make them cry endlessly

Teary eyed,
Not even a handkerchief have you left me with
To dry the past passionate kisses
That even today make me swoon.
I want to drink your mouth,
Kissing you, woman.

Oh!
I want you to give me back the pact of love
That the jealous moon gave us,
Written on sand, as if on paper.

It's forbidden...
If they tell you that I'm going crazy,
It's because my heart lies about the pain.
If you go away, I'll lose my life...

Note: The last fragment of music by the hand of Mozart in his "Requiem" is the eight first notes of the "Lacrimosa". The piece, like several other sections of the Requiem, was completed by his student, Franz Xaver Süssmayr.

Oh!

I want you to give me back the pact of love

That the jealous moon gave us,

Written on sand, as if on paper.

Its forbidden

If they tell you that Im going crazy,

Its because my heart lies about the pain.

If you go away, Ill lose my life

this is a great video; did you make it ? if so, did you get all the images from the Internet or you took some of those pictures yourself?

[Jammy7000]

Yes, I compiled the video images mainly from material gleaned from the internet. A few I have created.

Glad you liked it!

[CT270609]

Hermosa composición de imágenes para esta preciosa melodía de JLG. Abrazos para ti... está muy bien logrado el video.

[Manueladelmar88]

Amazing!

[milciadescastillo]

Considero que este acto de JLG de hacer una versión popular de una obra clásica es un acto de mal gusto. Quisiera escuchar la opinión personal de un músico clásico. Es una falta de respeto y un acto de arrogancia... quien se cree el que es para tomar una pieza de Mozart en sus manos, ponerle letras y hacer una versión popular de ella??? Pero por Dios, caramba ...

[PadmaBCN]

Bellísima canción, siempre me hace llorar de emoción, me pone los pelos de punta...
