Fruta amarga

Bitter Fruit

Fruta amarga

Heart!¡Corazón!
On that long nightEn aquella noche larga
the bitter fruit ripenedmaduró la fruta amarga
from this immense loneliness.de esta enorme soledad.
Heart!¡Corazón!
In the clouds of what sky¿En las nubes de qué cielo
will the sadness of your flightla tristeza de tu vuelo
wander without consolation?sin consuelo vagará?

I know it well...Bien lo se...
That hallucinating cold¡Aquel frío alucinante
of a moment, blinded me!de un instante, me cegó!
It was in a wind of madness,Fue en un viento de locura,
without tenderness, without forgiveness.sin ternura, sin perdón.
It was in the hoarse cryFue en el grito enronquecido
of a crazed lovede un amor enloquecido
of pain.de dolor.

You were the sunlightEras la luz de sol
and the happy songy la canción feliz
and the gray drizzley la llovizna gris
at my window.en mi ventana.
You were a faithful havenEras remanso fiel
and a dreamy elfy duende soñador
and a jasmine in bloomy jazminero en flor
and you were morning.y eras mañana.
Soft murmur...Suave murmullo...
Hill wind...Viento de loma...
Warm cooing of the dove.Cálido arrullo de la paloma.
You will never again be the scent of a rose,Ya no serás jamás aroma de rosal,
the freshness of a spring in my destiny.frescor de manantial en mi destino.
You will only be the voice that makes me rememberSólo serás la voz que me haga recordar
that in a cruel moment I made you cry.que en un instante atroz te hice llorar.

You are not here anymore!¡Ya no estás!
And the memory is a mirrorY el recuerdo es un espejo
that reflects from afarque refleja desde lejos
your sadness and my wickedness.tu tristeza y mi maldad.
You are not here anymore!¡Ya no estas!
And your lengthening absenceY tu ausencia que se alarga
tastes like bitter fruit,tiene gusto a fruta amarga,
like punishment and loneliness.a castigo y soledad.
Heart!¡Corazón!
A cloud veiledUna nube puso un velo
the sky of both of us.sobre el cielo de los dos.
And a cloud aloneY una nube solamente
suddenly lost me.de repente me perdió.
A cloud without sense,¡Una nube sin sentido,
without mercy, without forgetfulness,sin clemencia, sin olvido,
without forgiveness!sin perdón!
