Paroles et traduction Aníbal Troilo & Floreal Ruiz - Romance de Barrio

Romance de Barrio

Primero la cita, lejana de abril
Tu oscuro balcón
Tu antiguo jardín
Más tarde las cartas de pulso febril
Mintiendo que no
Jurando que sí

Romance de barrio
Tu amor y mi amor
Primero un querer
Después un dolor
Por culpas que nunca tuvimos
Por culpas que debimos
Sufrir los dos

Hoy vivirás despreciándome, tal vez
Sin pensar que lamento al no poderte tener
El dolor de no saber olvidar
Hoy estarás, como nunca, lejos mío
Lejos de tanto llorar

Fue porque sí
Que el despecho te cegó
Como a mí
Sin pensar que en el rencor del adiós
Castigabas con crueldad tu corazón
Fue porque sí
Que de pronto no supimos pensar
Que es mas fácil renegar y partir
Que vivir sin olvidar

Retornan vencidas
Tu voz y mi voz
Trayendo al volver
Con tonos de horror
Las culpas que nunca tuvimos
Las culpas que debimos
Pagar los dos

Neighborhood Romance

First the date, far away from April
Your dark balcony
Your old garden
Later the letters with a feverish pulse
Lying that no
Swearing that yes

Neighborhood romance
Your love and my love
First a love
Then a pain
For faults that we never had
For faults that we should have
Suffer both

Today you will live despising me, perhaps
Without thinking that I regret not being able to have you
The pain of not knowing how to forget
Today you will be, as never before, far from me
Far from so much crying

It was because yes
That heartbreak blinded you
Like me
Without thinking that in the resentment of goodbye
You punished your heart with cruelty
It was because yes
That suddenly we didn't know how to think
That it is easier to deny and leave
Than to live without forgetting

They return defeated
Your voice and my voice
Bringing on their return
With tones of horror
The faults that we never had
The faults that we should have
Paid for both
