Lyrics

Español

Recuerdos de una noche venturosa que vuelven en mi alma a florecer. Recuerdos que se fueron con el tiempo, presiento que reviven otra vez. Igual que aquella noche tan lejana, es esta de mi amarga soledad. La luna sobre el cielo azul te alumbra, como otra blanca luna que yo nunca veré más. Si quieres olvidarme, dejame... Dijiste la mañana que partí. Tú sabes que te quiero y te querré y tuyo es el cariño que te di. A nadie quise tanto como a ti y amante te ofrecí mi corazón. Yo sé que para siempre te ha perdido, mi alma, ya que todo ha sido sólo una ilusión. Así me reprochabas, sin saber, que yo compadecía tu dolor, que cuando me ofreciste tu querer yo estaba enamorado de otro amor. ¿Comprendes el porqué de mi partir? ¿Comprendes mi amargura en el adiós? Acaso con los años me hayas olvidado, ¡pero nunca yo!

English · machine translation

Memories of a happy night that come back to my soul to bloom. Memories that went away with time, I sense they come alive again. Just like that night so far away, is this night of my bitter loneliness. The moon over the blue sky shines on you, like another white moon that I will never see again. If you want to forget me, let me... You said the morning I left. You know that I love you and I will love you and yours is the love I gave you. I loved no one as much as I loved you and as a lover I offered you my heart. I know that you are lost forever, my soul, since everything has been only an illusion. Thus you reproached me, without knowing, that I pitied your pain, that when you offered me your love I was in love with another love. Do you understand the reason for my departure? Do you understand my bitterness in my goodbye? Perhaps with the years you have forgotten me, but never me!
