Dicha Pasada

Past Happiness

Dicha Pasada

Yesterday when I saw you so haughtyAyer cuando te vi tan altanera
Walking with the one who was my rivalPasear con el que fuese mi rival
I thought of those fifteen springsPensé en aquellas quince primaveras
That gave more beauty to your gazeQue dio más hermosura a tu mirar
But today you are not the same as beforePero hoy no sos la misma que eras antes
The light that was in your eyes has gone outLa luz que hubo en tus ojos se apagó
You have a bitterness in your countenanceTenés una amargura en tu semblante
And no one will know it like I doY nadie ha de saberla como yo

And even if you deny that you have sufferedY aunque me niegues que has sufrido
I know well that you have livedYo bien sé que has vivido
A thousand anguishing hoursMil horas angustiosas
And that in your chest have remainedY que en tu pecho se han quedado
The joys of the pastLas dichas del pasado
Like withered rosesComo marchitas rosas
If you left me for another manSi por otro hombre me dejaste
I don't want to reproach youNo quiero reprocharte
For how badly you loved meLo mal que me has querido
You are a woman and I forgive youVos sos mujer y te perdono
Because in the end with your abandonmentQue al fin con tu abandono
You have made me happierMe has hecho más feliz

I am like the bee, I fly freelyYo soy como la abeja, libre vuelo
And in search of another love my soul goesY en pos de otro cariño mi alma va
For when I need some comfortPues cuando necesito algún consuelo
There is another who gives it to my lifeHay otra que a mi vida se lo da
And since it was your pleasure to despise meY ya que fue tu gusto el despreciarme
I will never return to your sideJamás nunca a tu lado volveré
I pay you as you have known to pay meTe pago como has sabido pagarme
And I will forget all that pastY todo aquel pasado olvidaré
