Tristezas

Sadness of knowing that at another timeTristezas de saber que en otro tiempo
The streets of your quiet neighborhoodLas calles de tu barrio tan tranquilo
Enjoyed your beloved imageGozaban de tu imagen tan querida
And I was unaware that you were in meY yo ignoraba que estabas en mí sino

Sadness of knowing that at another timeTristezas de saber que en otro tiempo
Someone who wasn't me wrote a poemAlguien que no fui yo hizo un poema
So dedicated to you, that you kept itTan dedicado a ti, que lo guardaste
Just like you keep the one I write to youComo has guardado hoy el que te escribo

But you know? This sadness of minePero ¿sabes?, esta tristeza mía
Suddenly disappearedDe pronto se me ha ido
It was chased away by the spirit that has your smileLa ahuyentó el duende que tiene tu sonrisa
Telling me that finally you are with meDiciéndome que al fin estás conmigo

Sadness of thinking about so many yearsTristezas de pensar en tantos años
So many feelings you've hadEn tantos sentimientos que has tenido
Emotions of love and so much painEmociones de amor y tantas penas
Of which I couldn't be the causeDe las que yo no pude ser motivo

Sadness that the lack of encounter causes meTristezas que me causa el desencuentro
Sadness for the empty yearsTristezas por los años tan vacíos
Of not having discovered with youDe no haber descubierto junto a ti
The most intimate placesLos lugares más míos

But you know? This sadness of minePero ¿sabes?, esta tristeza mía
Suddenly disappearedDe pronto se me ha ido
It was chased away by the spirit that has your smileLa ahuyentó el duende que tiene tu sonrisa
Telling me that finally you are with meDiciéndome que al fin estás conmigo
