El Amor Desolado
Yo puse el esfuerzo y ella la desgana
Yo el hondo silencio y ella la palabra,
Yo senda y camino y ella la distancia
Yo puse los ojos y ella la mirada.
Quise entre mis manos, retener el agua
Y sobre la arena levanté mi casa,
Me quedé sin manos, me quedé sin casa
Fuí raíz oscura y ella tronco y rama.
Para que la cuenta del amor sumára
Ella puso el cuerpo yo, el cuerpo y el alma,
Era toda viento, yo todo montaña
Yo pura resina, y ella pura llama!
Una noche oscura, se fué de mi casa
Cegaron mis ojos para no mirarla,
Para no seguirla cerré las ventanas,
Clausuré las puertas para no llamarla.
Puse rosas negras sobre nuestra cama
Sobre su memoria, puse rosas blancas,
Y a la luz difusa de la madrugada...
¡me quité la vida!...¡para no matarla!
Yo lo puse todo, vida, cuerpo y alma
Ella, dios lo sabe, nunca puso nada.
The Desolate Love
I put in the effort and she brought the apathy
I the deep silence and she the words,
I the path and road and she the distance
I put in the eyes and she the gaze.
I wanted to hold water in my hands
And on the sand, I built my house,
I was left without hands, I was left without a home
I became a dark root and she the trunk and branches.
For love's account to add up
She brought the body, I, the body and soul,
She was all wind, I all mountain
I pure resin, and she pure flame!
One dark night, she left my house
My eyes were blinded so I wouldn’t see her,
To not follow her, I closed the windows,
Locked the doors to not call her back.
I put black roses on our bed
On her memory, I placed white roses,
And in the dim light of dawn...
I took my life!...to not kill her!
I gave it all, life, body, and soul
She, God knows, never gave a thing.
