Lyrics

Español

¿Cómo pedirle a tu rosal que no te brinde rosas? ¿Quién puede acaso silenciar al ave melodiosa? ¿Cómo a la fuente suplicar que no te diga cosas? Eso es pedirle al corazón que dé por muerta la ilusión que alienta en cada palpitar. ¡No! ¡No puede ser lo que me pides! ¡No! ¿Cómo es posible que te olvide? ¿Quién quiere apartarte de mi vida? Adiviné algo extraño en nuestra despedida. Hoy, por tu ventana iluminada vi, que tú llorabas desolada y mi pobre sombra enamorada lloró tu angustia y mi dolor.

English · machine translation

How can you ask your rose bush not to give you roses? Who can silence the melodious bird? How can you beg the fountain not to tell you things? That's asking the heart to give up for dead the illusion that breathes in each palpitation. No! It cannot be what you ask of me! It can't be! How can I forget you? Who wants to take you out of my life? I guessed something strange in our farewell. Today, through your lighted window I saw, that you were crying desolately y my poor shadow in love cried your anguish and my pain.
