Lyrics

Español

Pobre solterona te has quedado sin ilusión, sin fe... Tu corazón de angustias se ha enfermado, puesta de sol es hoy tu vida trunca. Sigues como entonces, releyendo el novelón sentimental, en el que una niña aguarda en vano consumida por un mal de amor. En la soledad de tu pieza de soltera está el dolor. Triste realidad es el fin de tu jornada sin amor... Lloras y al llorar van las lágrimas temblando tu emoción; en las hojas de tu viejo novelón te ves sin fuerza palpitar. Deja de llorar por el príncipe soñado que no fue junto a ti a volcar el rimero melodioso de su voz. Tras el ventanal, mientras pega la llovizna en el cristal con tus ojos más nublados de dolor soñás un paisaje de amor. Nunca tuvo novio, ¡pobrecita! ¿Por qué el amor no fue a su jardin humilde de muchacha a reanimar las flores de sus años?. ¡Yo, con mi montón de desengaños igual que vos, vivo sin luz, sin una caricia venturosa que haga olvidar mi cruz!

English · machine translation

Poor old maid you have been left without illusion, without faith... Your heart of anguish has become sick, your life is today a sunset, your life truncated. You go on as then, rereading the sentimental novel, in which a girl waits in vain. consumed by a love sickness. In the solitude of your maiden room is the pain. Sad reality is the end of your journey without love... You cry and as you cry the tears are trembling your emotion; on the pages of your old novel you see yourself without strength palpitating. Stop crying for the dreamed prince who did not go with you to pour out the melodious rhyme of his voice. Behind the window, while the drizzle hits the glass with your eyes more clouded with pain you dream a landscape of love. She never had a boyfriend, poor thing! Why didn't love go to her humble garden as a girl to revive the flowers of her years? I, with my heap of disappointments like you, I live without light, without a fortunate caress to make me forget my cross!
