Remembranzas
La otra noche al remover unas misivas,
Que amoroso en mi archivo guardo yo,
Entre pétalos marchitos, hube hallado,
Un retrato que es emblema de pasion.
Contemplarlo para mi fue el despertarse,
El recuerdo de esas horas que vivi.
Cuando todo era obsesiones,
Mil anhelos de ternura,
Y el recuerdo de un eterno frenesi.
Hoy comprendo que esas horas se acabaron.
Que es inutil revestir las apariencias,
Que el afecto que dos almas se juraron,
Toma rumbo del olvido,
Sin abrigo y sin amor.
No culpemos al destino, eso no es noble.
Comprendamos que hay errores que son fieros.
Meditemos al jurar nuestros afectos,
Antes de decir te quiero,
Como nunca te querré.
Reminiscences
The other night while going through some letters,
That lovingly I keep in my archive,
Among withered petals, I found,
A portrait that is a symbol of passion.
Looking at it was like waking up for me,
The memory of those hours I lived.
When everything was obsessions,
A thousand longings of tenderness,
And the memory of an eternal frenzy.
Today I understand that those hours are over.
That it's useless to disguise appearances,
That the affection two souls swore to each other,
Takes the path of oblivion,
Without shelter and without love.
Let's not blame destiny, that's not noble.
Let's understand that there are mistakes that are fierce.
Let's reflect when pledging our affections,
Before saying I love you,
As I will never love you.
