Lyrics

Español

Tu voz surgió de las sombras como un lejano reproche; tu voz que llora y me nombra mientras más aún se asombran los fantasmas de esta noche. Están mis ojos cerrados por el terror del silencio; mi corazón, desgarrado porque no me he perdonado todo el mal que te causé. Más, muchísimo más extrañan mis manos tus manos amantes... Más, muchísimo más me aturdo al saberte tan cerca y tan distante... Y mientras fumo forma el humo tu figura y en el aroma del tabaco tu fragancia me conversa de distancias, de tu olvido y mi locura... Tú que vives feliz tal vez esta noche te acuerdes de mí. Parece un sueño de angustias del que despierto temblando y están tiradas y mustias las violetas de esa angustia y mis ojos sollazando. Los pobres siguen cerrados por el terror del silencio... Mi corazón, desgarrado porque no me he perdonado todo el mal que te causé.

English · machine translation

Your voice came out of the shadows like a distant reproach; your voice that cries and names me while still more the ghosts of this night the ghosts of this night. My eyes are closed by the terror of silence; my heart, torn apart because I have not forgiven myself all the evil I caused you. More, much, much more my hands miss your loving hands... The more, the more I am stunned to know you so close and yet so distant... And while I smoke, your figure forms the smoke and in the aroma of tobacco your fragrance speaks to me of distances, of your oblivion and my madness... You who live happily perhaps tonight you will remember me. It seems like a dream of anguish from which I wake up trembling and the violets of that anguish the violets of that anguish and my eyes are drooping. The poor ones are still closed by the terror of silence... My heart, torn apart because I have not forgiven myself all the evil I caused you.
