Lyrics

Español

Si la ausencia me cerró su portón con cerrojos del olvido... Si está mudo su aldabón juguetón, yo ni sé por qué he venido... La maleza del jardín y las ruinas del balcón me lastiman con su esplín... ¡Si su mano ya no está!... Si en el sueño de mi empeño más maleza crecerá... Fué torpeza de mi amor. Celo amargo que cubría la vida mía... Maleza oscura de mi locura, como un veneno lento, y lleno de dolor y rencor... ¡Maleza vana del corazón!... Como la herrumbre de su persiana... Como el musgo que creció... ¡Como el mal que su ventana cerró!... Por hacerme daño así, yo partí... sin saber de que la hería... Sin pensar que con la ausencia, perdí todo lo que más quería... Ya está oscuro el callejón... Ya está mustio su jardín. Silencioso su aldabón... Y hoy, que vuelvo a su portal, mi tristeza es la maleza de un recuerdo que hace mal...

English · machine translation

If absence closed its gate to me with locks of oblivion... If its knocker is mute playful, I don't even know why I've come... The weeds of the garden and the ruins of the balcony hurt me with their splinters... If his hand is gone!.... If in the dream of my endeavor more weeds will grow... It was the clumsiness of my love. Bitter zeal that covered my life... Dark weeds of my madness, like a poison slow, and full of pain and rancor... Vain weeds of the heart!... Like the rust of its shutter... Like the moss that grew... Like the evil that her window closed!.... For hurting me like that, I left... Without knowing that I was hurting her... Without thinking that with my absence, I lost everything I loved most... The alley is already dark... Already her garden is withered. Silent is her knocker... And today, as I return to her doorway.., my sadness is the undergrowth of a bad memory...
