Noches Del Paraguay

Nights of Paraguay

Noches Del Paraguay

Old memories come to mindViejos recuerdos trae mi memoria
And fate arrives, which is quite a shameY llega el hado que es todo un ay
My sick heart thinks sweetly of youMi pecho enfermo dulce en ti piensa
Beautiful nights of ParaguayNoches hermosas del Paraguay

An uncertain orphan, I follow the pathHuérfano incierto sigo la ruta
Sad tragedy of my sorrowTriste tragedia de mi pesar
Nothing else happens, my soul mournsMás nada pasa mi alma se enluta
I dream on the nights of ParaguaySueño en las noches del Paraguay

Far from you, I became a bohemianDe ti distante me hice bohemio
I sing my verses at randomCanto mis versos todo al azar
I suffer, crying in the wee hoursSufro llorando en altas horas
Which are not the nights of ParaguayQue no son noches del Paraguay

I think of my ranch, my beloved motherPienso en mi rancho mi madre amada
The woman who perhaps forgot meLa china acaso que me olvidó
Constantly seeing beautiful reflectionsViendo constante bellos reflejos
Of that Moon that I cannot seeDe aquella Luna que no veo yo

My beautiful Moon does not reflect meMi Luna hermosa no me refleja
The cold fog covers my pathLa niebla fría cubre mi andar
It is not your songs, nor your lightsNo son tus cantos menos tus luces
Radiant Moon of ParaguayRadiante Luna del Paraguay

I remember everything from those daysRecuerdo todo de aquellos días
The loves I left behindDe los amores que allá dejé
My dreams, my fiancéeMis ilusiones la prometida
The beloved of my childhoodLa amada buena de mi niñez
