Murió Mi Esperanza

My Hope Died

Murió Mi Esperanza

After so much timeDespués de tanto tiempo
I saw her so beautiful, she's a ladyLa vi tan bella, es una dama
We had endedHabíamos terminado
But in my soul I carried herPero en el alma yo la llevaba
Her eyes looked at meSus ojos me miraron
To tell me she didn't love mePara decirme que no me amaba
While mine wateredMientras los míos se aguaron
And my cheeks were wetY mis mejillas fueron mojadas
She was celebrating her birthdaySu cumpleaños celebraba
And I approached her danceY yo me acerqué hasta su baile
And saw her boyfriend kissing herY vi que su novio la besaba
I was about to faintYo estuve apunto es desmayarme
I felt like the world was endingSentí que el mundo se acababa
I only had the strength to walk awaySolo tuve fuerzas para regresarme
From there I distanced myselfDe allí yo me alejé
While she laughed with her loveMientras que ella con su amor reía
I never blamed herYo nunca la culpé
Because what we had no longer existedPorque lo nuestro ya no existía
The night died with meLa noche conmigo moría
Dawn began to fallEmpezó a caer la madrugada
The dawn said nothing to meLa aurora nada me decía
And I couldn't forget my belovedY yo no olvidaba a mi amada
She has been conceived in my lifeElla se ha engendrado en mi vida
And I am less than nothing to herY yo para ella soy menos que nada

I have become a bohemianYo me he vuelto un bohemio
She remains the same, she's a ladyElla la misma, es una dama
I live for SincelejoVivo por sincelejo
Singing sadlyCantando triste
With my guitarCon mi guitarra
I still love herYo la sigo queriendo
In my memoryEn mi recuerdo
She's duplicatedTa’ duplicada
She continued her flightElla siguió su vuelo
Like a love-struck swallowCuál golondrina enamorada
I love her with all my soulLa quiero con toda mi alma
I swear by my motherLa quiero juro por mi madre
That I am like a bird without wingsQue estoy como un ave sin alas
And her children are hungryY que sus hijos tienen hambre
I wake up in the early morningDespierto por la madrugada
And I only feel the urge to kill myselfY a mí me dan ansias solo de matarme
And I dreamt of herY con ella soñé
Felt the caresses of her cold handsSentí caricias de sus manos frías
I woke up very sadMuy triste desperté
I ran out to see if I could find herSalí corriendo a ver si la veía
And I only found a friendY solo me encontré una amiga
She said, 'Migue, what's wrong with you?'Me dijo migue qué te pasa
Don't destroy your life anymoreNo destruyas más a tu vida
Because she is getting married soonPorque ella es muy pronto se casa
I felt my wound being hurtSentí que lastimaron mi herida
And there my hope slowly diedY allí lentamente murió mi esperanza
