Te he encontrado

Princesa sin voz

Casi sin abrigo
Almost without a coat
He llorado
I have cried
Al pie del temblor
At the foot of the tremor
Con grillos heridos
With wounded crickets
Te vas y no quieres llorar
You leave and don't want to cry
Te vas, no te voy a olvidar
You leave, I won't forget you
Llueven alaridos
Screams are raining
De reina mortal
Of a mortal queen
Niña de cabellos blancos
Girl with white hair
Niña de volverte a ver
Girl, I want to see you again
Tú que eres el gran Atlas
You who are the great Atlas
Que al gigante matas
Who brings down the giant
Pero de mujer
But as a woman
Te vas y no quieres llorar
You leave and don't want to cry
Te vas, no te voy a olvidar
You leave, I won't forget you
Llueven alaridos
Screams are raining
De reina mortal
From a mortal queen
Te vas y no quieres llorar
You leave and don't want to cry
Te vas, no te voy a olvidar
You're leaving, I'm not going to forget you
Llueven alaridos
Screams are pouring down
De reina mortal
