Tarde Gris

Grey Afternoon

Tarde Gris

Despite the pain, I come to see youPese al dolor vengo a verte
I found out yesterday that you were so illLo supe ayer que te hallabas tan mal
I, who swore to hate you to deathYo que juré odiarte hasta la muerte
I couldn't take it anymore and came to the hospitalNo pude más y vine al hospital
For all the harm you've done to mePor todo el mal que me has hecho
I wanted to settle this bitter grudgeQuise cobrar este amargo rencor
But then I felt inside my chestPero después sentí dentro del pecho
My heart beating with holy loveMi corazón latir con santo amor

Why are you crying? Does my presence¿Por qué llorás? ¿Acaso mi presencia
At this moment also upset you?En este instante a vos también te apena?
Or by remembering your life without essence¿O al recordar tu vida sin esencia
Did you regret and now want to be good?Te arrepentiste y hoy querés ser buena?
The grey afternoon, as grey as my sorrowLa tarde gris, tan gris como mi pena
Accompanied my grief for your woundAcompañó mi quebranto por tu herida
Because your kisses brought to my lifePorque tus besos trajeron a mi vida
The joy of dreaming and the eagerness to liveLa dicha de soñar y el ansia de vivir

I didn't come here to reproach youNo vine aquí a reprocharte
Everything passed and I prefer to forgetTodo pasó y prefiero olvidar
God wants me to forgive you againLo quiere Dios que vuelva a perdonarte
And that we start over once moreY que otra vez volvamos a empezar
When your ailments healCuando se curen tus males
My heart will awaken againMi corazón volverá a despertar
The gentle springs will returnRetornarán los mansos manantiales
And like yesterday we will have a homeY como ayer tendremos un hogar
