Ay de Mí

Woe is Me

Ay de Mí

The tired sun of meEl sol cansado de mí
one day abandoned meun día me abandonó
without speaking, without saying.sin hablar, sin decir.
Woe is me.Ay de mí.

The moon accompanied meLa luna me acompañó
silent in my walkcallada en mi caminar
without speaking, without saying.sin hablar, sin decir.
Woe is me.Ay de mí.

Your languor is me,Tu languidez soy yo,
your wide window,tu ancho ventanal,
the air of your skin,el aire de tu piel,
your shadow as you walk.tu sombra al caminar.

There is no other solution,No hay otra solución,
my world is oldmi mundo anciano está
and my hands are alreadyy ya mis manos son
made of hard flint.de duro pedernal.

I may perhaps live,Podré quizás vivir,
I may perhaps cry,podré quizás llorar,
but not caresspero no acariciar
the truth of your embrace.la verdad de tu abrazo.
Woe is me.Ay de mí.

I may perhaps sing,Podré quizás cantar,
I may perhaps laugh,podré quizás reír,
but not stop my reasonpero no detener mi razón
that is falling apart for you.que en pedazos va por ti.

Over all your skinSobre toda tu piel
I want to make love,quiero hacer el amor,
in your bed of skinen tu lecho de piel
I want to lay my corner.quiero echar mi rincón.

I don't want the awakeningNo quiero el despertar
of opening a fist and seeingde abrir un puño y ver
that in the palm remainedque en la palma quedó
only salt, only salt,sólo sal, sólo sal,
only salt.sólo sal.
