Hoy, después de tanto tiempo de no verte, de no hablarte, ya cansado de buscarte siempre... siempre!... Siento que me voy muriendo por tu olvido, lentamente, y en el frio de mi frente tus besos no dejaras... |
Today, after the time it's been that I haven't seen you, that we haven't talked, long weary of the road I've walked in search of you... in search of you... I feel that I'm slowly starting to die the more that you forget me now, and here on the chill of my brow you'll leave your kisses no more... |

Se que mucho me has querido, tanto... tanto como yo! Pero, en cambio, yo he sufrido mucho... mucho más que vos! No se por que te perdi, tampoco se cuando fue, pero a tu lado deje toda mi vida... Y hoy que estas lejos de mi y has conseguido olvidar, soy un pasaje de tu vida... nada mas! |
I know you loved me like a lover, and I, I loved you in return... And yet, I am the one who's suffered more, far more than you could learn! I don't know how I lost you, or even when it went wrong, but next to you I laid out the whole of my life... And now that you're far from me, and you've kept moving on, I'm just a station that you stopped at, nothing more! |

Es tan poco lo que falta para irme con la muerte... Ya mis ojos no han de verte nunca... nunca! Y si un dia, por mi culpa una lagrima vertiste, porque tanto me quisiste se que me perdonaras! |
Barely a memory remains now till death should take me quite away... Now my eyes shall never see you, never... never... And someday if, on account of me, you ever spill a single tear, I'll be forgiven then, I know, for once, you used to hold me dear. |
