Lyrics

Español

Ayer al verla pasar me convencí que no es posible volver y comprendí que todo se ha terminado, que somos sombras de aquel pasado. Con cuánta pena miré lo que creí sería mi salvación... ¡Pobre de mí! Y en esa duda terrible de hablarla o no hablarla mis pasos volví... Pobrecita, ¡qué vieja y pálida estaba! Sin brillo sus negros ojos miraban... La vida quiso ensañarse con ella... ¡Pensar que fue tan bella y que hoy el mundo la olvida! Si supiera que yo también he cambiado, que tengo el corazón destrozado, que a veces hasta en matarme he pensado, pues todo, todo, todo ha muerto ya para mí... Después temblando me fui de aquel lugar con unas ansias tan grandes de llorar... Enloquecido de pena, frío en el alma, hielo en las venas... Y anduve, así, sin saber adónde ir, sintiendo risas y burlas junto a mí. . . Y hoy, al saberme perdido, sin fuerzas, vencido, no puedo vivir...

Yesterday, as I watched her pass by, I was convinced that it is not possible to return and I understood that everything is over, that we are shadows of that past. With how much sorrow I looked at what I believed would be my salvation... Woe is me! And in that terrible doubt to speak it or not to speak it I turned my steps... Poor thing, how old and pale she was! Dull and dull her black eyes looked... Life wanted to be cruel to her... To think that she was so beautiful And today the world forgets her! If she only knew that I have changed too, that I have that my heart is broken, that sometimes I've even thought of killing myself, for everything, everything, everything has already died for me... Then, trembling, I left that place with such a great desire to cry... Mad with grief, cold in my soul, ice in my veins... And I walked, like that, without knowing where to go.., feeling laughter and mockery beside me. . . . And today, knowing I am lost, without strength, defeated, I cannot live...
