Lyrics

Español

¿Dónde estarás viejo amor?... ¿Dónde estarás corazón?... Me arrepiento por el mal que te he causado, soy culpable de tus penas. Reconozco que eras buena, que me diste el corazón con un amor puro y santo, y que ciego y sin razón llevé tus sueños al martirio y al quebranto. En este gris divagar hoy que te quiero y no estás, te extraño más... En el viento va prendida mi emoción silbando la canción más triste... Y al llegar a mi ventana se hacen noches las mañanas más tempranas de aquel sueño feliz... ¡Por qué la perdí!... Si pudimos compartir la alegría de vivir, de vivir feliz la vida... Y es por eso que hoy quisiera redimir el sueño que no presentí. Solloza el viento otoñal... Golpeando en mi ventanal... Si supieras cuánto extraño tus consejos, me hacen falta tus caricias, tus palabras... tu sonrisa, porque huérfano de amor me siento viejo y cansado y acrecientan mi dolor remordimientos que recuerdan el pasado. En su latir, compasión repite mi corazón. ¡Perdón!... ¡Perdón!...

English · machine translation

Where will you be old love... Where will you be, my heart? I repent for the evil that I have caused you, I am guilty of your sorrows. I recognize that you were good, that you gave me your heart with a pure and holy love, and that blind and unreasoning I led your dreams to martyrdom and brokenness. In this gray wandering today that I love you and you are not here, I miss you more... In the wind my emotion is caught whistling the saddest song... And when I reach my window the mornings become nights of that happy dream... Why did I lose her!... If we could share the joy of living, of living life happily... And that is why today I would like to redeem the dream that I didn't see. The autumn wind is sobbing... Beating on my window... If you knew how much I miss your advice, I miss your caresses, your words... your smile, because orphaned of love I feel old and tired and my pain increases remorse that reminds me of the past. In its beating, compassion repeats my heart. Forgive me!... Forgive me!...
