Soledad

Solitude

Soledad

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 meVos ya me has arrancado
My heart asks for a lieMi corazón una mentira pide
To wait for your impossible callPara esperar tu imposible llamado
I don't want anyone to imagineYo no quiero que nadie se imagine
How bitter and deep my eternal solitude isCómo es de amarga y honda mi eterna soledad
The nights pass, the minute hand movesPasa las noches, el minutero mueve
The nightmare of its slow tick-tockLa 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 returnSus 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 enterSin atreverse luego a entrar
But there is no one and she doesn't comePero no hay nadie y ella no viene
It's a ghost created by my illusionEs un fantasma que crea mi ilusión
And as it fades away, it leaves its visionY que al desvanecerse va dejando su visión
Ashes in my heartCenizas en mi corazón

In the silver sphere of the clockEn la plateada esfera del reloj
The dying hours refuse to passLas horas que agonizan se niegan a pasar
There is a parade of strange figuresHay un desfile de extrañas figuras
That gaze at me mockinglyQue me contemplan con burlón mirar
It's an endless caravanEs una caravana interminable
That sinks into oblivion with its spectral grinQue se hunde en el olvido con su mueca espectral
Your mouth that was mine goes with herSe va con ella tu boca que era mía
All that remains is the anguish of my painSolo me queda la angustia de mi mal
