El Sueño

The Dream

El Sueño

Last night, while I was sleepingAnoche, mientras dormía
From tiredness fatiguedDel cansancio fatigado
I don't know what beloved dreamNo sé qué sueño adorado
Crossed my mindCruzó por la mente mía
I dreamed that I saw youSoñé de que te veía
And you were looking at meY vos me estabas mirando
And I was telling youY yo te estaba contando
My sad life, very sadMi vida triste, muy triste
And you disappearedY que desapareciste
When I woke up cryingAl despertarme llorando

I fell asleep againVolví a conciliar el sueño
After a whileDespués de pasado un rato
But once again your portraitPero otra vez tu retrato
I saw, with more determinationLo vi, con mayor empeño
I dreamed that I was your ownerSoñé de que era tu dueño
And that you were caressing meY que tú me acariciabas
That you gave me many kissesQue muchos besos me dabas
Full of immense affectionLlenos de inmenso cariño
And once again, like a childY que otra vez, cual un niño
I woke up cryingLlorando me despertaba

Oh, what a delicious dreamAy, qué sueño delicioso
And beautiful in realityY bello en la realidad
Nice to dream that it's trueLindo soñar que es verdad
But waking up is painful!¡Más despertar doloroso!
To see the dreadful changeVer el cambio pavoroso
That lies aheadQue se encierra en el sendero
I would like to dream of you, butQuisiera soñarte, pero
I have a torn soulTengo el alma desgarrada
I would like to dream, my belovedQuisiera soñar, mi amada
That I die by your sideQue junto a tu lado muero
