Lyrics

Español

Te sorprendí junto a tu piano sollozando Tu cabecita cayó sobre el marfil, La última nota de aquel vals se iba apagando Entre las brisas perfumadas del jardín. Luego arrancaste nuevas notas al teclado Como un lamento de tu alma enamorada Y sentí tentación de llorar, Al ver que todo tu dolor, te lo causó mi amor... No llores más, mi bien Entre mis brazos yo te arrullaré, ¿Ves? Hoy vuelve a renacer El mismo soñador Que ayer cantó... ¡Novia querida! ¡Sol de mi vida! Lo que pasó tan sólo un sueño ha sido. ¡Ven! Disipa ese temor Y en nombre del amor ¡Perdón!... Hondo misterio que jamás podré explicarme: ¡Si te adoraba por qué te hice sufrir! O es necesario que un dolor nos llegue al alma Para poder valorizar todo un sentir... Perdóname todo el pesar que te he causado No quise herirte... borremos el pasado, Tú sabrás con tu amor perdonar Mi loco y pobre corazón, que te hizo tanto mal...

English · machine translation

I caught you next to your piano sobbing Your little head fell on the ivory, The last note of that waltz was fading away In the perfumed breezes of the garden. Then you plucked new notes from the keyboard Like a lament of your soul in love And I was tempted to cry, Seeing that all your pain was caused by my love... Weep no more, my good In my arms I will lull you to sleep, You see? Today you are reborn again The same dreamer Who yesterday sang... Beloved bride! Sun of my life! What happened only a dream has been. Come! Dispel this fear And in the name of love Forgive me!... Deep mystery that I will never be able to explain to myself: If I adored you why did I make you suffer! Or is it necessary for a pain to reach our souls To be able to value a whole feeling... Forgive me all the sorrow I have caused you I didn't want to hurt you... Let's erase the past, You will know how to forgive with your love My crazy and poor heart, that did you so much harm...
