Goodbye, My Beloved

Che mbotavy raka'e

Goodbye, beloved womanAdiós, amada mujer
Sacred light of my lifeSagrada luz de mi vida
Yesterday you were my joyAyer fuiste mi alegría
Now I’m left in despairHa ág̃a che resay
Goodbye, my happiness of yesterdayAdiós, mi dicha de ayer
Goodbye, holy loveAdiós, amor sacrosanto
With oceans of bitter tearsCon mares de amargo llanto
You’re my flower of sorrowRohejáta che yvoty

It’s the fruit of your inconsistencyEs fruto de tu inconstancia
This unending painEste dolor incesante
That you, wandering butterflyQue tú, mariposa errante
Kept fluttering around meRehejáva cherehe
And your gaze, so fleetingHa nde resê reveve
Searching for another loverBuscando ya otro amante
In distant places far awayEn otros lares distantes
Your memory haunts meNe akãrema reikove

Goodbye, I say it againAdiós, te vuelvo a decir
Goodbye, it’s foreverAdiós sera para siempre
From the past, it’s haunting meKu yma guarechaiténte
Holding on to our memoriesJapyta jeýma ñande
I’ll bless your loveBendeciré tu querer
Wishing you good luckDeseándote buena suerte
Don’t let sadness take holdAni ñembyasy kupépe
As you forget meVoiete reñemboyke

Your love was treacherousInfame fue tu querer
A nest of my sufferingNido de mi sufrimiento
And I’m left feeling contentHa che aikómi contento
With the echoes of your wordsArovia umi ne ñe'ê
Your promise was a lieEngaño fue tu promesa
Your oath was in vainEn vano tu juramento
As time drags onRembohasávo el tiempo
I’m left in this confusionChembotavy raka'e
As time drags onRembohasávo el tiempo
I’m left in this confusionChembotavy raka'e
