Lyrics

Español

Te oí decir..adiós, adiós... Cerré los ojos y oculté el dolor... Sentí tus pasos cruzando la tarde y no te atajaron mis manos cobardes. Mi corazón, lloró de amor y en el silencio resonó tu voz, tu voz querida, lejana y perdida, tu voz que era mía... tu pálida voz. En las noches desoladas, que sacude el viento, brillan las estrellas frías del remordimiento y me engaño que habrás de volver otra vez desatando el olvido y el tiempo. Siento que tus pasos vuelven por la senda amiga. Oigo que me nombras llena de mortal fatiga, para qué si ya sé que es inútil mi afán, nunca... nunca... vendrás. Te vi partir, dijiste adiós, temblé de angustia y oculté mi dolor. Después, pensando que no volverías traté de alcanzarte y ya no eras mía. Mi corazón, sangró de amor, y en el recuerdo resonó tu voz... tu voz querida, lejana y perdida, tu voz aterida, tu pálida voz.

English · machine translation

I heard you say...goodbye, goodbye.... I closed my eyes and hid the pain... I felt your footsteps crossing the afternoon and my cowardly hands didn't stop you. My heart wept with love and in the silence your voice resounded, your dear voice, distant and lost, your voice that was mine... your pale voice. In the desolate nights, that the wind shakes, the cold stars of remorse shine... and I deceive myself that you will come back again untying oblivion and time. I feel your footsteps returning along the friendly path. I hear you call my name full of mortal fatigue, why if I already know that my eagerness is useless, you will never... never... come. I saw you leave, you said goodbye, I trembled with anguish and hid my pain. Afterwards, thinking that you would not come back I tried to reach you and you were no longer mine. My heart bled with love, and in the memory resounded your voice... your dear voice, distant and lost, your voice, your pale voice, your pale voice.
