Lyrics

Español

¿Dónde están sus ojos? ¿Dónde su sonrisa? ¿Dónde está el camino que la trajo a mí? ¿Y el aroma leve y el sol y la brisa? ¿Sombras en las sombras tristes del jardín? Tiempo de alegría... ¿Dónde has terminado? Tiempo de agonía... ¿Todo se acabó? Hoy acaso sea necio y trasnochado que estos versos grises lloren por su amor. Tiempo eterno de vaivenes, tiempo eterno... ¿Para qué tus primaveras? Para qué. Siempre el paso del fantasma del invierno por la casa desalada escucharé... Todo tiempo será tiempo de congojas, sin sus ojos, sin su risa, sin su amor... Toda música, rumor de secas hojas... Toda voz, el eco turbia de su adiós... Lejos su sonrisa... lejos ya sus ojos... Sombras en las sombras del atardecer. Se cubrió el camino de yuyos y abrojos, ella y mi esperanza nunca han da volver. Todo es un recuerdo pálido y lejano. Todo como el eco turbio de un adiós. Pobres ilusiones... Pobres sueños vanos... Tiempo, fue tu mano quién la muerte dio.

English · machine translation

Where are her eyes? Where is her smile? Where is the path that brought her to me? And the faint scent and the sun and the breeze? Shadows in the sad shadows of the garden? Time of joy... Where have you ended? Time of agony... Is it all over? Today perhaps it's foolish and late-night that these gray verses cry for your love. Eternal time of ups and downs, eternal time... Why your springs? What for? Always the passing of the ghost of winter through the desolate house I will hear... All time will be time of sorrows, without your eyes, without your laughter, without your love... All music, rumor of dry leaves... Every voice, the murky echo of her farewell... Far away her smile... far away her eyes... Shadows in the shadows of the sunset. The road was covered with weeds and thistles..., she and my hope have never returned. Everything is a pale and distant memory. All like the murky echo of a goodbye. Poor illusions... Poor vain dreams... Time, it was your hand who gave death.
