Lyrics

Español

Las últimas hojas que caen del invierno el fin de mis días parece anunciar, si vieras, viejita, qué noche más larga... no pude, un momento, los ojos cerrar. Estoy desahuciado, no tengo esperanza, la fiebre maldita machaca mi ser; y un frío terrible penetra en mis huesos, y estoy sin aliento de tanto toser. ¡Por lo que más quieras, decile a la ingrata!, que no se avergüence, que me venga a ver; ¡que a pesar de todo... la sigo queriendo con las mismas ansias que la quise ayer. Por ella que ha sido la luz de mi vida en horas felices de nuestra pasión, por ella me muero llevando en el alma tan sólo el recuerdo de aquella traición. Qué frío que siento, qué fiebre que tengo, qué gusto la Virgen de hacerme sufrir, ¡qué obscuro se ha puesto, parece de noche... tápame viejita que quiero dormir!

English · machine translation

The last falling leaves of winter the end of my days seems to announce, if you saw, old lady, what a long night... I could not, for a moment, close my eyes. I am hopeless, I have no hope, the damned fever crushes my being; and a terrible cold penetrates my bones, and I'm out of breath from coughing so much. For the love of God, tell the ungrateful one! tell the ungrateful one, not to be ashamed, to come and see me; that in spite of everything... I still love her with the same eagerness as I loved her yesterday. For her who has been the light of my life in happy hours of our passion, for her I die carrying in my soul only the memory of that betrayal. How cold I feel, what a fever I have, what pleasure the Virgin has in making me suffer, how dark it has become, it seems like night... cover me, old woman, I want to sleep!
