La Cama Vacia

The Empty Bed

La Cama Vacia

From a gloomy hospitalDesde un tetrico hospital
Where he was admittedDonde se hallaba internado
Almost haggard and surrounded by a sepulchral silenceCasì hagonico y rodeado de un silencio sepulcrar
With his usual tenderness, the one he always showedCon su ternura habitual,la que siempre demostro
Perhaps with effort or not, from his gloomy bedQuizas con esfuerzo o no,desde su lecho sombrìo
A sick friend of mine wrote me this letterUn enfermo amigo mìo,esta carta me escrìbio

Dear friend, I would like, upon receiving thisQuerido amigo quisiera,que al recibir la presente
That you are well and that luck accompanies you everywhereTe halles bien y que la suerte te acompañe por doquiera
As for me, and bad as it may be, to tell you that I am betterPor mi parte y mal que hubiera,decirte que estoy mejor
If, on the contrary, in my pain, lying on my cold bedSi al contrario en mi dolor,postrado en mi lecho hierto
I am a poor skeleton, which horrifies meYo soy un pobre esqueleto,que a mi mismo me da horror

The letter is to tell you, that if you can one dayLa carta es para decirte,que si puedes algun dìa
Come to keep me company since you loved me so much?Vienes hacerme compañia pos que tanto me quisiste?
I am so alone and so sad, that I cry uncontrollablyEstoy tan solo y tan triste,que lloro sin contenerme
No one usually loves me, everyone shows themselves _____Ya nadie suele quererme,todos se muestran _____
Of so many of my friends, none have come to see meDe tantos amigos mios,ninguno ha venido a verme

Today I give you the reason, as I see in my lonelinessHoy yo te doy la razon,pues veo en mi soledad
That this so-called friendship, is just an illusionQue esa llamada amistad,es tan solò una iluciòn
When one is in good condition, has friends aplentyCuando uno esta en condiciòn,tiene amigos a granel
But if cruel fate throws us into an abyssPero si el destino cruel hacia un abismo nos tira
We see that everything is a lie and that there is no faithful friendVemos que todo es mentira y que no hay amigo fiel

Well, here I say goodbye, and as I put an endBueno aqui ya me despido,y al poner punto final
Receive a loyal hug, from the one who has always loved youRecibe un abrazo leal,de el que siempre te ha querido
To your mother, whom I do not forget, also send my regardsA tu mama que no olvido,tambièn mis recuerdos dalè
Show her much devotion and shower her with caressesMucha devocion mostrale y de caricias colmala
You who have her, take care of her, if you knew how much she is worthVos que la tenès cuidala,si supieras cuanto vale

Sunday arrived and anxiousLlego el domingo y ancioso
For that loyal friend, I entered the hospitalPor aquel amigo leal penetre en el hospital
Anxious and sorrowfulAngustiado y pesarozo
I went silently, to the place where I knewMe diriji silencioso,al lugar donde sabìa
I would find his bedQue su lecho encontraria
But there, as soon as I found itMas hay ni bien lo encontre
I was astonished to see the empty bedAsombrado em quede al ver la cama vacia.
