Lyrics

Español

El cierzo helado te arrincona en la ventana. Zurciendo sueños la poltrona te adormece, y me parece que tu gris cabeza cana, tras el agua casquivana luce ufana un pañolón. Estás soñando, ¡tan lejana!, en tu rincón, con cosas del amor y del ayer, y por la calle que nos llama mansamente, vuelvo a verte nuevamente, porque ¿ves?, volvió a llover... ¡Volvió a llover!... Volvió a llover sobre el borrón del gris atardecer... Volvió a llover y sin querer pasó, fugaz, la voz de una canción de Montparnasse. Cosas que regresan y me besan, vientos que atan y desatan los recuerdos con que pesan, los olvidos con que matan... Volvió a llover, y en el cristal sentimental del corazón, volvió a llover... Tu luz llenaba mis inviernos de estudiante y en besos tiernos mis cuadernos borroneaba, porque te amaba, y en la mísera buhardilla fue tu amor la maravilla de una copa de champán. Tranquila zurces como antaño en el desván, tan frágil y tan linda, y tan mujer, porque esta tarde larga y triste que te evoca, por la amarga calle loca del ayer, volvió a llover...

English · machine translation

The icy breeze corners you at the window. The poltrona lulls you to sleep, snoozing dreams, and it seems to me that your gray gray head, behind the water, proudly wears a kerchief. You are dreaming, so far away, in your corner, with things of love and of yesterday, and by the street that calls us meekly, I see you again, because you see, it's raining again... It rained again!.... It rained again on the blur of the gray sunset... It rained again and unintentionally it passed, fleeting, the voice of a song of Montparnasse. Things that return and kiss me, winds that bind and untie the memories with which they weigh, the forgetfulness with which they kill... It rained again and in the crystal sentimental of the heart, it rained again... Your light filled my student winters and in tender kisses I erased my notebooks.., because I loved you, and in the miserable garret was your love the wonder of a glass of champagne. Quietly you darn as of old in the attic, so fragile and so pretty, and so womanly, because this long and sad afternoon that evokes you, by the bitter crazy street of yesterday, it rained again...
