Triste Domingo

Sad Sunday

Triste Domingo

Sad Sunday, with a hundred white flowersTriste domingo, con cien flores blancas
And the altar decked with my crazy dreamsY ornado el altar de mi loca ilusión
Where my soul has gone to kneelDonde mi alma se ha ido a postrar
While my lips are calling for youMientras mi boca llamándote está
Dying in my dreams, sunsets of boredomMuere en mi sueños ocasos de hastío
Tired of waiting and lonelinessCansados de espera y de soledad

Sad Sunday!¡Triste domingo!

You don’t understand the terrible anguishTú no comprendes la angustia terrible
Of waiting for you, without seeing you arriveDe estar esperando, sin verte, llegar
Let your steps fly, I must leave!¡Vuelen tus pasos que debo marchar!
Can’t you see I’m dying with this crazy desire?No ves que muero con mi loco afán
I want you to be the white and mercifulQuiero que seas la blanca y piadosa
Shroud that covers my final hourMortaja que cubra mi hora final

Sad fate!¡Triste destino!

Dear oneQuerido
Next to my coffin surrounded by many flowersJunto a mi ataúd que circundan muchas flores
A priest awaits my confessionAguarda mi confesión un sacerdote
And to him I say:Y a él le digo:
I love him, I wait for him.Lo quiero, lo espero.

Don’t fear anything if you find my eyesNo temas nada si encuentras mis ojos
Lifeless and open, waiting for youSin vida y abiertos y esperandoté
Your hands are the ones that should close themTus manos son quien los deben cerrar
And maybe then I’ll have died in peaceY acaso entonces yo habré muerto en paz
I hear the tolling of bells, thatSiento un doblar de campanas, que
Gloomily their voices command me to leaveLugubremente sus voces me ordena marchar

Sad Sunday!¡Triste domingo!

Fly my life, your dear steps¡Vuela mi vida tu paso querido
For the hour has come that I must depart!Que llega la hora uque debo partir!
I want to have you on my final journeyQuiero tenerte en mi viaje final
And something tells me you won’t arriveY algo me dice que no llegarás
Sad Sunday, visit me belovedTriste domingo visitame amado
For now in my grave I will wait for youQue ahora en mi tumba yo te he de esperar

I will wait!¡He de esperar!
