Sus ojos se cerraron

Her Eyes Closed

Sus ojos se cerraron

Her eyes closedSus ojos se cerraron

Her eyes closed...Sus ojos se cerraron...
and the world keeps moving,y el mundo sigue andando,
his mouth that was minesu boca que era mía
no longer kisses me,ya no me besa más,
the echoes have fadedse apagaron los ecos
of his joyful laughterde su reír sonoro
and this silence is cruely es cruel este silencio
that hurts me so much.que me hace tanto mal.
I had the mercifulFue mía la piadosa
sweetness of his handsdulzura de sus manos
that gave my sorrowsque dieron a mis penas
tenderness and kindness,caricias de bondad,
and now that I recall ity ahora que la evoco
sunk in my heartbreak,hundido en mi quebranto,
the tears I thought oflas lágrimas pensadas
refuse to flow,se niegan a brotar,
and I have no comforty no tengo el consuelo
of being able to cry.de poder llorar.

Why did life burn his wings so cruelly!¡Porqué sus alas tan cruel quemó la vida!
Why this sinister grimace of fate!¡porqué esta mueca siniestra de la suerte!
I wanted to shelter him, but death was stronger,Quise abrigarla y más pudo la muerte,
How it hurts me and deepens my wound!¡Cómo me duele y se ahonda mi herida!
I know that now strange faces will comeYo sé que ahora vendrán caras extrañas
with their meager relief for my torment.con su limosna de alivio a mi tormento.
Everything is a lie, the lament is a lie.Todo es mentira, mentira es el lamento.
Today my heart is alone!¡Hoy está solo mi corazón!

Like hunting dogsComo perros de presa
the treacherous sorrowslas penas traicioneras
jealously chasing my lovecelando mi cariño
galloped behind,galopaban detrás,
and hidden in the watersy escondida en las aguas
of his good gazede su mirada buena
the lurking fatela suerte agazapada
marked its rhythm.marcaba su compás.
In vain I encouragedEn vano yo alentaba
feverish hope.febril una esperanza.
Pain sank its clawsClavó en i carne viva
into my raw flesh;sus garras el dolor;
and while in the streetsy mientras en las calles
in wild revelryen loca algarabía
the carnival of the worldel carnaval del mundo
celebrated and laughed,gozaba y se reía,
mocking destinyburlándose el destino
stole his love from me.me robó su amor.
