Lyrics
Español
Volvió una noche, no la esperaba, había en su rostro tanta ansiedad que tuve pena de recordarle lo que he sufrido con su impiedad. Me dijo humilde: 'Si me perdonas, el tiempo viejo otra vez vendrá. La primavera es nuestra vida, verás que todo nos sonreirá' Mentira, mentira, yo quise decirle, las horas que pasan ya no vuelven más. Y así mi cariño al tuyo enlazado es sólo una mueca del viejo pasado que ya no se puede resucitar. Callé mi amargura y tuve piedad. Sus ojos azules, muy grandes se abrieron, mi pena inaudita pronto comprendieron y con una mueca de mujer vencida me dijo: 'Es la vida'. Y no la vi más. Volvió esa noche, nunca la olvido, con la mirada triste y sin luz. Y tuve miedo de aquel espectro que fue locura en mi juventud. Se fue en silencio, sin un reproche, busqué un espejo y me quise mirar. Había en mi frente tantos inviernos que también ella tuvo piedad.

She came back one night, I wasn't expecting her, there was so much anxiety in her face that I was sorry to remind her what I have suffered with her impiety. She said to me humbly: 'If you forgive me, the old time will come again. Spring is our life, you will see that everything will smile on us'. Lie, lie, I wanted to tell him, the hours that pass will never come again. And so my affection to yours linked is only a grimace of the old past that can no longer be resurrected. I silenced my bitterness and had pity. Her blue eyes, very large opened, my unheard-of sorrow they soon understood and with a grimace of a defeated woman she said to me: 'It's life'. And I saw her no more. She returned that night, I never forget her, with a sad look and without light. And I was afraid of that specter that was madness in my youth. He left in silence, without a reproach, I looked for a mirror and I wanted to look at myself. There were so many winters on my forehead that she also had pity.
