Lyrics

Español

Un día te alejaste de mi lado, sin dejarme el consuelo de un adiós; mi fe, mi corazón, toda mi vida la hallé perdida al encontrarme sin tu amor. Supe que te fuiste detrás de otra mujer, supe que vivías feliz con su querer, a mi alma la hundiste en un abismo y, ahogando mi egoísmo, yo nunca te busqué. Fue terrible y mortal la soledad que me envolvía; yo quería olvidarme de tu amor y no podía, mientras mi razón te condenaba sin piedad, mi alma, pobre alma, perdonaba tu maldad y confiaba que ibas a volver buscando, de nuevo, mi noble querer. Hoy sé que te encontrarás solo y vencido, ocultando una pena en tu vivir, lloras arrepentido de vergüenza, pues tu conciencia te reprocha mi sufrir. Sé que te persiguen recuerdos de mi amor, sé que te hace falta valor para volver, con los brazos abiertos yo te espero; vení, porque te quiero igual o más que ayer.

English · machine translation

One day you left my side without leaving me the comfort of a goodbye; my faith, my heart, my whole life I found it lost when I found myself without your love. I knew that you left behind another woman, I knew that you lived happily with her love, you plunged my soul into an abyss. and, drowning my selfishness, I never looked for you. The loneliness that enveloped me was terrible and deadly; I wanted to forget your love and I could not, while my reason condemned you mercilessly, my soul, poor soul, forgave your wickedness and trusted that you would return seeking, once again, my noble love. Today I know that you will find yourself alone and defeated, hiding a sorrow in your life, you cry repentant with shame, for your conscience reproaches you for my suffering. I know that memories of my love haunt you, I know that you need courage to return, with open arms I wait for you; come, because I love you the same or more than yesterday.
