¿Por Qué No Has Venido?

Why Haven't You Come?

¿Por Qué No Has Venido?

Because you haven't come, I've been waiting for youPorque no has venido, te estuve esperando
Knowing that I'm sad and so badSabiendo que me hallo triste y tan mal
My mother, so kind, just brought meMi madre tan buena recién me ha traído
Two fragrant roses from your rose gardenDos rosas fragantes de tu rosedal

You don't know, my love, the good you did to meNo sabes mi vida, el bien que me hiciste
My cruel pains, dreaming, I calmedMis cruentos dolores soñando calmé
Suddenly I wake up, my mother is sadDe pronto despierto, mi madre está triste
Because you haven't come to see me, whyPorque no has venido a verme, por qué

I asked her if something was happening to youLe pregunté si acaso algo te acontecía
The poor woman tenderly replied noLa pobre con ternura me respondió que no
And she pulled out from her chest a photographY entresacó del pecho una fotografía
It was my portrait, the one I gave youEra el retrato mío, aquel que te di yo

Memories flocked through my mindCruzaron por mi mente recuerdos en bandadas
Affections, joys, I perceived everythingCariños, alegrías, todo lo percibí
In anguish on the bed, your crimson rosesDe angustia sobre el lecho, tus rosas encarnadas
Cried with my mother, in sorrow next to meLloraban con mi madre, de pena junto a mí
