Sus ojos se cerraron y el mundo sigue andando,
su boca que era mia ya no me besa mas. Se apagaron los ecos de su reir sonoro y es cruel este silencio que me hace tanto mal... Fue mia la piadosa dulzura de sus manos, que dieron a mis penas caricias de bondad, y ahora que la evoco hundido en mi quebranto, las lagrimas trenzadas se niegan a brotar, y no tengo el consuelo de poder llorar... En vano yo alentaba febril una esperanza clavo en mi carne viva sus garras el dolor, y mientras en la calle en loca algarabia el carnaval del mundo gozaba y se reia burlandose el destino me robo su amor... Por que sus alas tan cruel quemo la vida! por que esa mueca siniestra de la suerte... Quise abrigarla y más pudo la muerte, como me duele y se ahonda mi herida. Yo se que ahora vendran caras extrañas con su limosna de alivio a mi tormento todo es mentira, mentira es el lamento... Hoy esta solo mi corazón! Como perros de presa las penas traicioneras celando su cariño galopaban detras, y escondida en las aguas de su mirada buena la muerte agazapada marcaba su compas. |
She closed her eyes and the world kept going
Her lips that were mine no longer kiss me The echoes of her rich laughter have faded And this cruel silence hurts me so Mine was the gentle mercy of her hands That soothed my sorrows with kind caresses And now buried in my grief when I remember her The entwined tears refuse to flow And I don't have the consolation of being able to cry In vain I nourished a feverish hope Suffering dug its claws into my living flesh While in the streets the carnival of life Flourished and laughed in crazy riot Mocking the fate that stole her love from me Why did its cruel wings snuff out her life Why this sinister grimace of fate? I wanted to protect her but death was stronger How much I hurt and how deep is my wound I know that now strange faces will come With their charity of comfort for my torment Everything is a lie, a lie their lament Today my heart is alone Like dogs of prey the traitorous troubles Hanging over her galloped at her heels And hidden in the liquid of her sweet glance Crouching death marked her life's end |
