Me hacen daño tus ojos
Me hacen daño tus manos
Me hacen daño tus labios
Que saben mentir. 
A mi sombra pregunto
Si esos labios que adoro
En un beso sagrado
Podrán fingir.

Aunque viva, prisionera
En mi soledad mi alma te dirá:
Te quiero.
Nuestros labios, guardan flama
De un beso voraz, que no olvidarás
Mañana.

Flores negras, que el destino
Nos aparta sin piedad.
Pero el día vendrá en que seas
Para mi no más, no más

Aunque viva, prisionera
En mi soledad mi alma te dirá:
Te quiero.
Nuestros labios, guardan flama
De un beso voraz, que no olvidarás
Mañana.

Flores negras, que el destino
Nos aparta sin piedad.
Pero el día vendrá en que seas
