Cuando dijo adiós,
quise llorar.
luego sin su amor
quise gritar.
Todos los ensueños
que albergó mi corazón,
toda mi ilusión, cayeron a pedazos.
“Pronto volveré,”
dijo al partir.
Loco la esperé,
¡Pobre de mí!
y hoy que tanto tiempo ha transcurrido
sin volver
siento que he perdido su querer.
¡Jamás retornarás!
Lo dice el alma mía,
y en esta soledad
te nombro noche y día.
¿Por qué, por qué te fuiste de mi lado
y tan cruel has destrozado
mi corazón?
¡Jamás retornarás!
lo dice el alma mía,
y aunque muriendo está
te espera sin cesar.
(Instrumental)
When she said goodbye,
I wanted to cry
then without her love,
I wanted to scream.
All the dreams
that my heart encompassed,
all my illusions, they fell to pieces.
“I will come back soon,”
she said as she left.
I went crazy waiting for her,
poor little me!
And now that so much time has passed
and she hasn’t returned
I feel that I’ve lost her love.
You will never return!
My soul tells me so,
and in my solitude
I cry out your name, night and day.
Why, why did you leave my side
and so cruelly destroy
my heart?
You will never return!
my soul says so,
and although it is dying
I ceaselessly wait for you.
(Instrumental)
