Como Se Muere de Amor

How Love Dies

Como Se Muere de Amor

The garden; a flower shines its whiteness in the windowEl jardín; en la ventana luce una flor su blancor
In the bedroom, that sick person repeats with a weak voiceEn la alcoba aquél enfermo repite con débil voz
I love you, only silence responds to his painTe quiero, solo el silencio responde a su dolor
And a violin seems to say: How love diesY un violín decir parece: Como se muere de amor

In a little white house, with a window overlooking the gardenEn una casita blanca, con ventanal al jardín
Softly in the distance, the harmony of a violin is heardSe oye muy suave a lo lejos la armonía de un violín
There's a little white bed, a small table; a flowerEs una camita blanca, una mesita; una flor
Several distracted chairs that watch boredVarias sillas distraídas que contemplan aburridas
A little sick person in loveA un enfermito de amor

Eternally; a smileEternamente; una sonrisa
Slides through his mouthPor su boca se desliza
Impregnated with painImpregnada de dolor
And in his gaze, serene and pureY en su mirada, serena y pura
There's a book of bitternessHay un libro de amargura
And a love storyY una novela de amor

Then mysteriouslyLuego misteriosamente
A woman arrives thereLlega hasta allí una mujer
And with a kiss on the foreheadY con un beso en la frente
Pours all her loveVuelca todo su querer

Everyone has fallen silent!¡Todos han enmudecido!
And they watch with painY contemplan con dolor
On her cold faceEn el frío rostro de ella
Where the mark is printedDónde está impresa la huella
Of the one who is dying of loveDel que se muere de amor

And the violins in a sighY los violines en un suspiro
Are saying: I am inspired; in a poem of illusionVan diciendo: Yo me inspiro; en un poema de ilusión
And in his gaze, serene and pureY en su mirada serena y pura
There's a book of bitternessHay un libro de amargura
And a love storyY una novela de amor

There's a book of bitternessHay un libro de amargura
And a love storyY una novela de amor
