María

Perhaps your name was only Maria..!Acaso te llamaras solamente María..!
I don't know if you were the echo of an old song,No sé si eras el eco de una vieja canción,
but long ago, you were deeply minepero hace mucho, mucho, fuiste hondamente mía
over a sad, love-fainted landscape...sobre un paisaje triste, desmayado de amor...

Autumn brought you, wet with agony,El Otoño te trajo, mojando de agonía,
your poor little hat and the brown coat...tu sombrerito pobre y el tapado marrón...
You were like the street of Melancholy,Eras como la calle de la Melancolía,
that rained...rained on my heart..!que llovía...llovía sobre mi corazón..!

Maria..!María..!
In the shadows of my roomEn las sombras de mi pieza
it's your step that returns...es tu paso el que regresa...

Maria..!María..!
And it's your voice, small and sad,Y es tu voz, pequeña y triste,
the one from the day you said:la del día en que dijiste:
'There's nothing between us anymore..'"Ya no hay nada entre los dos.."

Maria..!María..!
The most mine..! The Distant..!La más mía..! La Lejana..!
If you were to return another morningSi volviera otra mañana
through the streets of farewell..!por las calles del adiós..!

Your eyes were ports that kept absent,Tus ojos eran puertos que guardaban ausentes,
their horizon of dreams and a silence of flower...su horizonte de sueños y un silencio de flor...
But your good hands, returned present,Pero tus manos buenas, regresaban presentes,
to heal my fever, faded with love...para curar mi fiebre, desteñidas de amor...

An Autumn brought you..! Your name was Maria,Un Otoño te trajo..! Tu nombre era María,
and I never knew anything about your unhappy path...y nunca supe nada de tu rumbo infeliz...
If you were like the landscape of Melancholy,Si eras como el paisaje de la Melancolía,
that rained...rained, on the gray street...que llovía...llovía, sobre la calle gris...
