Letra del Foxtrot La leyenda del beso

Cuántas veces yo me alcé para gritar
Mas el corazón me frenó,
Y de nuevo resignándome a mi mal
Ante el embrujo de tu voz
Arrodillándome a tu amor.

Yo no acierto a comprender
Por qué razón,
Me enredaste en tu vida
Si después,
Cuando yo te di mi corazón
Te fuiste,
Negándome ese querer.

Yo quemé en tus amores lo mejor de mi ilusión
Y perdí la esperanza de llegar a reaccionar,
Ya sin fe, sin cariño, derrotado,
Hoy repaso con tristeza los momentos del pasado.

Sin saber por qué vuelve a mi memoria, ése, tu amor,
Sin poder arrancarte ni gritarte mi dolor,
Sé que estás en mi vida, tanto y tanto
Que te busco en mi quebranto, aliviando al corazón.

English lyrics of the Foxtrot "La leyenda del beso"

How many times I rose to shout
But my heart held me back,
And again resigning to my affliction
Before the enchantment of your voice
Kneeling down to your love.

I fail to comprehend
Why,
You entangled me in your life
If after,
When I gave you my heart
You left,
Denying me that love.

I burned in your love the best of my hopes
And I lost the chance to react,
Now without faith, without affection, defeated,
I sadly revisit the moments of the past.

Not knowing why your love returns to my memory,
Unable to pull you out or shout out my pain,
I know you are in my life, so much and so much
That I seek you in my ordeal, soothing the heart.

This internal battle and the haunting memories emphasize the emotional depth and persistence of love and betrayal.
