|
Alma, si tanto te han herido, ¿por qué te niegas al olvido? ¿Por qué prefieres llorar lo que has perdido, buscar lo que has querido, llamar lo que murió? |
My soul, if they've hurt you so much, why do you keep them in mind? Why do you prefer to weep for what you've lost, to search for what you crave, to call for what has died? |
|
|
Vives inútilmente triste y sé que nunca mereciste pagar con pena la culpa de ser buena, tan buena como fuiste por amor. |
You're living sad for nothing, and I know it was never worth it to serve a sentence of pain for the fault of being good, as good as you truly were in love. |
|
|
Fue lo que empezó una vez, lo que después dejó de ser. Lo que al final por culpa de un error fue noche amarga del corazón. |
It was a thing that started once, a thing that since has ceased to be. A thing that at last, thanks to a mistake, became a bitter midnight of the heart. |
|
|
¡Deja esas cartas! ¡Vuelve a tu antigua ilusión! Junto al dolor que abre una herida llega la vida trayendo otro amor. |
Never mind those letters! Turn back to your fancies of old! Along with the sorrow that opens a wound, life comes along with a new love in tow. |
|
|
Alma, no entornes tu ventana al sol feliz de la mañana. No desesperes, que el sueño más querido es el que más nos hiere. es el que duele más. |
Soul, don't shutter your window to the happy sun of tomorrow. Don't you despair, for the most beloved dream is the one that hurts us most, the one we most lament. |

Vives inútilmente triste y sé que nunca mereciste pagar con pena la culpa de ser buena, tan buena como fuiste por amor. |
You're living sad for nothing, and I know it was never worth it to serve a sentence of pain for the fault of being good, as good as you truly were in love. |
