Home / Lyrics translation / Miguel Aceves Mejía / La Cama De Piedra

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Cama De Piedra by Miguel Aceves Mejía from Spanish to English.

Cuando la estaba queriendo

When I was loving her

Cuando la estaba sintiendo

when I was feeling her

Todita mía la vi partir

all mine, I saw her leave

Me juró que regresaba

She swore to me she'd return

Pero todo era mentira

but everything was a lie

Porque ya su alma no era de mí

because her soul wasn't mine anymore

En la noche silenciosa

In the silent night

Nos miramos frente a frente

we looked at each other face to face

Sin hablar

without speaking

Ella me dijo de pronto

She suddenly told me

Que olvidara su cariño

to forget her affection

Que no me quería engañar

that she didn't want to deceive me

Fue bajo del crucifijo

It was under the crucifix

De la torre de una iglesia

of a church tower

Cuando la luna nos alumbró

when the moon lit us up

Yo la estreché entre mis brazos

I held her tight in my arms

Con ganas de detenerla

wanting to stop her

Pero el orgullo me lo impidió

but pride prevented me

Ya solo frente a la iglesia

Now alone in front of the church

Y llorando ante el Cristo

and crying before Christ

Fui a implorar

I went to implore

Al contemplar mi tristeza

Upon seeing my sadness

El crucifijo de piedra

the stone crucifix

También se puso a llorar

also began to cry

Did you like this lyrics translation?

crucifijo — crucifix

Crucifijo translates to "crucifix." It's a significant and evocative word that carries deep cultural and emotional weight, especially in a song with themes of heartbreak and spiritual solace.

In the lyrics, the narrator finds himself under the "crucifijo de la torre de una iglesia" (crucifix of a church tower) during a pivotal moment of farewell. Later, in his profound sadness, he implores the "crucifijo de piedra" (stone crucifix), which then "se puso a llorar" (began to cry) with him. This personification of the crucifix highlights the depth of his despair and the spiritual dimension of his suffering, making it a powerful and memorable word in the context of the song.
