THE DESERTS OF YOUR EYES (English)

I wonder what are you thinking, dear, to bring me to a place like this?
This place where destinies are forged and fled, this place where once the mighty bled
I cannot understand the trembling of your hand
What ugly fire have you fed?
You were my shining Sheik of Araby, but your sword cuts two ways
You protected me from all foes but you, and your lies taught me what's true
Imagine all the times I sought the deserts of your eyes and saw oases of blue
My first and perfect love, I will never leave you
My sad and ancient one, I will never deceive you
Come away and cling to my love, I'll devote my life to you
My love is only for you, my love is only for you
I awake with sand on my tongue, but my thirst is for you
Although you left me to die in this place, my one mirage is your face
Is it fate that your love turned to hate, as I am easily replaced?
Our love burned hot as the desert wind that blew the stars to the sky
But the wind brings a chill in the night and tears of hate blur my sight
I wander hopefully in this blind and barren sea, for now revenge is my right
My shy and selfless one, I will never abuse you
I would tear my heart from my chest merely to amuse you
Come away and run to my love, I will always protect you
My love is only for you, my love is only for you
I approach you with fire in my eyes, I have surprise on my side
May this night be an end to your lies
I watch the light leave your eyes
I watch your hands clutch the innocent sands
I hear your death choke your sighs
My cruel and thoughtless one, I can never forget you
My sly and shiftless one, I will ever regret you
I am coming to claim my love, I can never forgive you
My shame is only for you, my shame is only for you
