Último Adiós

Last goodbye

Último Adiós

And goodY bien
There you are already in the middle of four candlesAhí estás ya en medio de cuatro velas
For you, there are no sorrowsPara ti, no existen penas
Neither without flavors, nor boredomNi sin sabores, ni hastío
Instead, this chest of mineEn cambio, este pecho mío
that has been only yoursQue ha sido tan solo tuyo
Look at him now renderedMíralo ahora rendido
No grudges, no prideSin rencores, sin orgullo

Without remembering the past that hurt us so muchSin recordar el pasado que tanto daño nos hizo
All that is forgottenTodo aquello está olvidado
It was like this because God wanted itFue así porque Dios lo quiso

I am very close standingYo estoy muy cerquita parado
I've been here for hoursAquí llevo horas
You, on the other hand, are stillTú, en cambio, estás quietecita
Although I know that you don't ignore meAunque sé que no me ignoras

The others around youLos demás que te rodean
Those who have come to watch over youLos que a velarte han venido
They laugh and secreteRíen y se secretean
How little they have felt youQue poquito te han sentido

Your father is here presentTu padre está aquí presente
You know how much he hated meTú sabes cuanto me ha odiado
Today I see his forehead sweat and remain silentHoy veo sudarle la frente y permanecer callado
Head down and thoughtfulCabizbajo y pensativo
Maybe he finally understoodQuizá por fin comprendió
that with the fact of loving each otherQue con el hecho de amarnos
We have never offended youNunca le hemos ofendido

Your mother, who is a saintTu madre, que es una santa
She who loved you so muchElla que te quiso tanto
Look at her alone on her benchMírala sola en su banca
Bathed in a sea of tearsBañada en un mar de llanto

He looks at me so sweetly at intervals of his cryingMe mira tan dulcemente a intervalos de su llanto
That I would give my entire life so that I would not suffer so muchQue daría la vida entera por que no sufriera tanto
Do you remember that afternoon when he found us talking?¿Te acuerdas aquella tarde que nos halló platicando?
He warned us about your father and then he left jokinglyNos previno de tu padre y luego se fue bromeando

I already told you that afternoon and today I repeat it againYa te lo dije esa tarde y hoy lo vuelvo a repetir
With people like your mother, it's worth livingCon gente como tu madre, vale la pena vivir

But what a short night and at what moment it happenedPero qué noche tan corta y en qué momento pasó
The Sun appeared at your door and in an instant it roseEl Sol se asomó a tu puerta y en un instante subió
And it's all overY es que todo ha terminado
The most difficult thing cameLo más difícil se vino

We have removed your bodyTu cuerpo lo hemos sacado
And you move along the pathY avanzas por el camino
You go first than anyoneTú vas primero que nadie
All of us forming an endless lineTodos nosotros formando una fila interminable

You in a lead float and a thousand doves flyingTú en una carroza ploma y mil palomas volando
Look at them, look at them, here they come following usMíralas, míralas, aquí nos vienen siguiendo
Maybe they think you're showing offQuizá piensan que te asomas
They will believe that you have been seeing themCreerán que las vienes viendo

Finally we passed the town, its houses were left behindPor fin pasamos el pueblo, sus casas quedaron atrás
And for me there is no consolation, I know that you will not returnY para mí no hay consuelo, yo sé que no volverás
The procession has stopped and I carry you in my armsSe ha detenido el cortejo y yo te llevo en mis brazos
But, with each step, I leave my soul, which is in piecesPero, en cada paso, dejo mi alma, que está hecha pedazos

Goodbye, then, for the last timeAdiós, pues, por vez postrera
Goodbye, my only dreamAdiós, mi única ilusión
Don't expect a fist of earth, why?No esperes puño de tierra, ¿para qué?
If you take my heart thereSi allí llevas mi corazón
Cause let me tell you I felt such a cold windPorque déjame decirte que sentí un viento tan frío
I have come to say goodbye to youHe venido a despedirte
God bless you, my loveDios te bendiga, amor mío
Rest in peaceDescansa en paz
