Nos encontramos, tú y yo, y a conversar nos detuvimos. Un algo raro tenías cuando callabas, cuando reías... La esgrima sentimental al fin surgió la tarde aquella. Después... ¡qué poco quedó! El viento todo lo llevó... La luz de un fósforo fue nuestro amor pasajero. Duró tan poco... lo sé... como el fulgor que da un lucero... La luz de un fósforo fue, nada más, nuestro idilio. Otra ilusión que se va del corazón y que no vuelve más. En todo, siempre el color es del cristal con que se mira. De rosa, yo te veía, cuando callabas, cuando reías. Después, con otro cristal, cambió el color y ya no eras... La vida es toda ilusión y un prisma es el corazón.

We meet, you and I, and to talk we stopped. There was something strange about you when you were silent, when you laughed... Sentimental fencing finally emerged that afternoon. Afterwards... how little was left! The wind carried it all away... The light of a match was our fleeting love. It lasted as little... I know... as the glow of a star... The light of a match was, nothing more, our idyll. Another illusion that leaves from the heart and never comes back. In everything, always the color is of the glass with which you look at it. In pink, I saw you when you were silent, when you laughed. Later, with a different glass, the color changed and you were no longer... Life is all illusion and a prism is the heart.
