Llegaste Tarde

You Arrived Late

Llegaste Tarde

You arrived late, at the twilight of my sad life,Llegaste tarde, en el ocaso de mi vida triste,
You misunderstood my tender words, and for the first time you wanted to loveA mis palabras tiernas confundiste, y por primera vez quisiste, amar

But it was too late, not even in the madness of human pleasurePero era tarde, ni en la locura del placer humano
You didn't understand that a distant love,No comprendiste que un querer lejano,
Was going to tear me away from your tenacious loveIba a arrancarme de tu amor tenaz

In vain I tried to make you see, the sorrows of lifeEn vano quise hacerte ver, las penas de la vida
Because I knew, that our love, was a fleeting lovePorque sabia, que nuestro amor, era un amor fugaz

You arrived late, but you wanted to know my lifeLlegaste tarde, pero quisiste, conocer mi vida
And now I leave you with the wound of my love,Y ahora te dejo con mi amor la herida,
That you won't be able to erase from your soulQue de tu alma no podrás borrar

In vain I tried to make you see, the sorrows of lifeEn vano quise hacerte ver, las penas de la vida
Because I knew, that our love, was a fleeting lovePorque sabia, que nuestro amor, era un amor fugaz
You arrived late, but you wanted to know my lifeLlegaste tarde, pero quisiste, conocer mi vida
And now I leave you with the wound of my love,Y ahora te dejo con mi amor la herida,
That you won't be able to erase from your soulQue de tu alma no podrás borrar
