Lyrics

Español

No sabes cuánto te he querido, como has de negar que fuiste mía; y sin embargo me has pedido que te deje, que me vaya, que te hunda en el olvido. Ya ves, mis ojos no han llorado, para qué llorar lo que he perdido; pero en mi pecho desgarrado... sin latidos, destrozado, va muriendo el corazón. Ahora, que mi cariño es tan profundo, Ahora, quedo solo en este mundo; qué importa que esté muriendo y nadie venga a cubrir estos despojos, ¡qué me importa de la vida! Si mi vida está en tus ojos. Ahora que siento el frío de la muerte, ahora que mis ojos no han de verte... qué importa que otro tenga tus encantos, si yo se que nunca nadie puede amarte tanto, tanto como yo te amé. No puedo reprocharte nada si encontré en tu amor la fe perdida; con el calor de tu mirada diste fuerzas a mi vida, pobre vida destrozada. Y, aunque mis ojos no han llorado, hoy, a Dios rezando le he pedido... que si otros labios te han besado, y al besarte te han herido, que no sufras como yo.

English · machine translation

You don't know how much I loved you, how you will deny that you were mine; and yet you have asked me to leave you, to go away, to sink you into oblivion. You see, my eyes have not wept, why mourn what I have lost; but in my torn chest... without a heartbeat, shattered, my heart is dying. Now, that my affection is so deep, Now, I am left alone in this world; What does it matter that I am dying and no one comes to cover these spoils, what does it matter to me of life! If my life is in your eyes. Now that I feel the cold of death, now that my eyes will not see you... what does it matter if someone else has your charms if I know that no one can ever love you as much, as much as I loved you. I cannot reproach you for anything if I found in your love the lost faith; with the warmth of your gaze you gave strength to my life, poor shattered life. And, although my eyes have not wept, today, I have prayed to God... that if other lips have kissed you and in kissing you have hurt you, that you do not suffer as I did.
