Lyrics
Español
En una casita blanca con ventanal al jardín, se oye muy suave, a lo lejos, la armonía de un violín. Es una casita blanca, una mesita, una flor, varias sillas distraídas que contemplan aburridas a un enfermito de amor. Eternamente, una sonrisa, por su boca se desliza impregnada de dolor. Y en su mirada serena y pura, hay un libro de amargura y una novela de amor. Luego, misteriosamente, llega hasta allí una mujer y con un beso en la frente vuelca todo su querer... Todos han enmudecido y contemplan con dolor en el frío rostro de ella donde está impresa la huella del que se muere de amor... Y los violines en un suspiro van diciendo: 'Yo me inspiro en un poema de ilusión', muy quedamente cual si temiesen que sus trinos ofendiesen el ritmo de una oración.
English · machine translation
In a little white house with a window to the garden, you can hear very softly, in the distance, the harmony of a violin. It is a little white house, a small table, a flower, several distracted chairs who contemplate bored a little love-sick man. Eternally, a smile, slips through his mouth impregnated with pain. And in her gaze serene and pure, there is a book of bitterness and a novel of love. Then, mysteriously, a woman arrives there and with a kiss on the forehead she pours out all her love... All have fallen silent and contemplate with pain on her cold face where is imprinted the imprint of the one who is dying of love... And the violins in a sigh are saying: 'I am inspired in a poem of illusion', very quietly as if they were afraid that their trills would offend the rhythm of a prayer.
