Español

Las grises mañanitas de Montmartre, donde iluso derroché mi juventud, serán eternas en mi triste vida, porque las recuerdo para mi inquietud. Al igual que un amor cicatrizado e imborrable en un tierno corazón, mis mañanitas de Montmartre tan queridas son para mí un delirio y una gran pasión. Pero sos, mujer, pobre insensata que en el mundo triunfás; la frágil barca de tu vida quizás naufragará porque el timón de tu esperanza se quebrará en la mar, y humillada ya, mis mañanitas de Montmartre verán la fría nieve del destino caer sobre tu almita acongojada destruyendo aquellos sueños que forjaste con afán. Nuevamente volverás a ser aquella que paseaba exenta de pudor por esas calles en que todas las mujeres pecadoras, guardaban su dolor. Y en las tinieblas de tu pobre vida, por ingrata nunca más encontrarás quien te devuelva con un beso de cariño la luz de tu esperanza, que se apaga ya.

English · machine translation

The gray mornings of Montmartre, where I illusively squandered my youth, will be eternal in my sad life, because I remember them for my restlessness. Like a scarred love and indelible in a tender heart, my dearest little mornings of Montmartre are for me a delirium and a great passion. But you are, woman, poor foolish woman who triumphs in the world; the fragile boat of your life perhaps will be shipwrecked because the rudder of your hope will break at sea, and humiliated already, my little mornings of Montmartre will see the cold snow of destiny fall on your sorrowful soul destroying those dreams that you forged with eagerness. You will once again be the one who walked free of modesty through those streets where all the sinful women sinful women, kept their pain. And in the darkness of your poor life, because you are ungrateful you will never again find who will return you with a kiss of affection the light of your hope, which is already extinguished.
