Lyrics

Español

Dichas gratas de un amor Tan puro sin melancolías, Que se ha muerto En mi vida paria Cual rosa de un día. Dichas que viví y no volverán, Dichas gratas que mis ojos En silencio llorarán. Dicha mía Que vivió un instante Para no olvidarla, Y en las notas En este vals triste Vengo a recordarla. Dichas de mi ayer Que murió y se fue, Dichas gratas Que a vivir de nuevo Yo no volveré.

English · machine translation

Pleasant sayings of a love So pure without melancholy, That has died In my pariah life Like a rose of a day. Sayings that I lived and will not return, Pleasant joys that my eyes In silence will weep. Joy of mine That lived an instant So as not to forget it, And in the notes In this sad waltz I come to remember her. Sayings of my yesterday That died and went away, Pleasant sayings That to live again I will not return.
