Lyrics

Español

Volcado el pelo en el hombro, negro carbón. La noche parda en sus ojos... Así es Ninón. Callada, triste y serena como los cirios, como la pena. Sencilla y pura todo ternura en su corazón. Pálida de azahar y luna como ninguna... Así es Ninón... Acaso sus pupilas sin auroras no brillan más en el cansancio de las horas y oculten el dolor de un sueño muerto entre las ruinas de un pasado incierto. Tal vez, cuando sus manos olvidadas rasguen su ajuar de novia abandonada, no tenga lágrimas para llorar y mire sin saber dónde mirar. Tras una noche, otra noche. ¡Vano esperar!... Cien lunas fueron cambiando, y el cielo... igual... Rosario de mil desvelos fue encaneciendo su pelo negro, y por su llaga lenta se apaga su alma en un perdón... Vida de sombra, flor ajada por su mirada, así es Ninón.

English · machine translation

Overturned hair on the shoulder, coal black. The brown night in his eyes... That's Ninon. Quiet, sad and serene like candles, like sorrow. Simple and pure all tenderness in her heart. Pale as orange blossom and moon like no other... That's Ninon... Perhaps her pupils without auroras no longer shine in the weariness of the hours and hide the pain of a dead dream among the ruins of an uncertain past. Perhaps, when her forgotten hands tear her abandoned bride's trousseau, she will have no tears to cry and look without knowing where to look. After one night, another night. I can't wait!... A hundred moons were changing, and the sky... the same... Rosary of a thousand sleepless nights her black hair grew gray, and through her sore slowly fades her soul in a pardon... Life of shadow, a flower worn down by her gaze, that's Ninon.
