SolitudeSoledad

I don't want anyone to tell meYo no quiero que nadie a mí me diga
that from your sweet lifeque de tu dulce vida
you have already taken me away.vos ya me has arrancado.
My heart asks for a lieMi corazón una mentira pide
to wait for your impossible call.para esperar tu imposible llamado.
I don't want anyone to imagineYo no quiero que nadie se imagine
how bitter and deep my eternal solitude is,cómo es de amarga y honda mi eterna soledad,
in my long night the minute grindsen mi larga noche el minuto muele
the nightmare of its slow tick-tock.la pesadilla de su lento tic-tac.

In the sorrowful shadow of my room, waitingEn la doliente sombra de mi cuarto, al esperar
for steps that may not return,sus pasos que quizás no volverán,
sometimes it seems to me that they stop their walka veces me parece que ellos detienen su andar
without daring to enter afterwards.sin atreverse luego a entrar.
But there is no one and she doesn't come,Pero no hay nadie y ella no viene,
she's a ghost created by my illusion.es un fantasma que crea mi ilusión.
And as it fades away, it leaves its vision,Y que al desvanecerse va dejando su visión,
ashes in my heart.cenizas en mi corazón.

In the silver sphere of the clock,En la plateada esfera del reloj,
the dying hours refuse to pass.las horas que agonizan se niegan a pasar.
There is a parade of strange figuresHay un desfile de extrañas figuras
that gaze at me with mocking eyes.que me contemplan con burlón mirar.
It's an endless caravanEs una caravana interminable
that sinks into oblivion with its spectral grin,que se hunde en el olvido con su mueca espectral,
with it goes your mouth that was mine,se va con ella tu boca que era mía,
all that remains is the anguish of my pain.sólo me queda la angustia de mi mal.
