Lyrics
Español
Hoy te evoco emocionado, mi divina Margarita. Hoy te añoro en mis recuerdos, ¡oh, mi dulce inspiración! Soy tu Armando, el que te clama, mi sedosa muñequita, El que te llora... el que reza, embargado de emoción. El idilio que se ha roto me ha robado paz y calma. Y la muerte ha profanado la virtud de nuestro amor. ¡Para qué quiero la vida!... si mi alma destrozada Sufre una angustia suprema... vive este cruento dolor. Hoy de hinojos en la tumba donde descansa tu cuerpo He brindado el homenaje que tu alma suspiró; He llevado el ramillete de camelias ya marchitas, Que aquel día me ofreciste como emblema de tu amor. Al ponerlas junto al lecho donde dormías tranquila, Una lágrima muy tierna de mis ojos descendió Y rezando por tu alma, mi divina Margarita, Un sollozo entrecortado en mi pecho se anidó. Nunca olvido aquella noche que besándome en la boca Una camelia muy frágil de tu pecho se cayó; La tomaste tristemente, la besaste como loca Y entre aquellos pobres pétalos, una mancha apareció. ¡Era sangre que vertías! ¡Oh, mi pobre Margarita! Eran signos de agonía... eran huellas de tu mal Y te fuiste lentamente, vida mía, muñequita, Pues la Parca te llamaba con su sorna tan fatal.

Today I evoke you with emotion, my divine Margarita. Today I long for you in my memories, oh, my sweet inspiration! I am your Armando, the one who cries out to you, my silky doll, The one who cries for you... the one who prays, overwhelmed with emotion. The idyll that has been broken has robbed me of peace and calm. And death has profaned the virtue of our love. What do I want life for!... if my shattered soul Suffers supreme anguish... lives this bloody pain. Today kneeling at the tomb where your body rests I have paid the homage that your soul sighed; I have carried the bouquet of camellias already withered, Which that day you offered me as an emblem of your love. As I placed them beside the bed where you slept peacefully, A very tender tear from my eyes descended. And praying for your soul, my divine Margarita, A broken sob nestled in my breast. I never forget that night when, kissing me on the mouth A very fragile camellia from your breast fell; You took it sadly, you kissed it like mad... And among those poor petals, a stain appeared. It was blood that you poured! Oh, my poor Marguerite! They were signs of agony... They were traces of your evil. And you went slowly away, my life, my little doll, For the Grim Reaper was calling you with his fatal mockery.
