Lyrics

Español

Fue un ensueño de dulce amor, horas de dicha y de querer. Fue el poema de ayer, que yo soñé de dorado color. Vanas quimeras que el corazón no logrará descifrar jamás. ¡Nido tan fugaz, fue un sueño de amor, de adoración!... Cuando las flores de tu rosal vuelvan más bellas a florecer, recordarás mi querer y has de saber todo mi intenso mal... De aquel poema embriagador ya nada queda entre los dos. ¡Con mi triste adiós sentirás la emoción de mi dolor!...

English · machine translation

It was a dream of sweet love, hours of joy and love. It was yesterday's poem that I dreamed of golden color. Vain chimeras that the heart will never be able to decipher. So fleeting a dream, it was a dream of love, of adoration!... When the flowers of your rosebush come back to bloom more beautifully, you will remember my love and you will know all my intense evil... Of that intoxicating poem nothing remains between the two of us. With my sad goodbye you will feel the emotion of my pain!...
