My Sad Night (Lita)

Mi noche triste (Lita)

Babe, you ditched mePercanta que me amuraste
in the prime of my life,en lo mejor de mi vida,
leaving my soul woundeddejándome el alma herida
and a thorn in my heart,y espina en el corazón,
knowing that I loved you,sabiendo que te quería,
that you were my joyque vos eras mi alegría
and my burning dream,y mi sueño abrasador,
for me there's no solacepara mí ya no hay consuelo
and that's why I get wastedy por eso me encurdelo
to forget about your love.pa'olvidarme de tu amor.

When I go to my padCuando voy a mi cotorro
and see it all messed up,y lo veo desarreglado,
so sad, so deserted,todo triste, abandonado,
I feel like crying;me dan ganas de llorar;
I stop for a long whileme detengo largo rato
gazing at your picturecampaneando tu retrato
trying to console myself.pa poderme consolar.

No more in the cribYa no hay en el bulín
are those cute little bottles,aquellos lindos frasquitos
dressed up with ribbons, arreglados con moñitos
all in the same color.todos del mismo color.
The mirror is fogged upEl espejo está empañado
and it seems like it's criedy parece que ha llorado
for the absence of your love.por la ausencia de tu amor.

At night, when I lay downDe noche, cuando rne acuesto
I can't close the door,no puedo cerrar la puerta,
because leaving it openporque dejándola abierta
I delude myself you're coming back.me hago ilusión que volvés.
I always bring cookiesSiempre llevo bizcochitos
to have with little sips of matepa tomar con matecitos
as if you were here,como si estuvieras vos,
and if you could see the old ladyy si vieras la catrera
how she gets all riled upcómo se pone cabrera
when she doesn't see us both.cuando no nos ve a los dos.

The guitar, in the closetLa guitarra, en el ropero
still hangs there:todavía está colgada:
no one plays itnadie en ella canta nada
or makes its strings vibrate.ni hace sus cuerdas vibrar.
And the lamp in the roomY la lámpara del cuarto
has also felt your absencetambién tu ausencia ha sentido
because its light didn't wantporque su luz no ha querido
to illuminate my sad night.mi noche triste alumbrar.
