Paroles et traduction Peteco Carabajal - Volvió una noche

Volvió una noche

Volvió una noche, no la esperaba
Había en su rostro tanta ansiedad
Que tuve pena de recordarle
Su felonía y su crueldad

Me dijo, humilde: "si me perdonas
El tiempo viejo otra vez vendrá
La primavera de nuestras vidas
Verás que todo nos sonreirá"

"Mentira, mentira", yo quise decirle
"Las horas que pasan ya no vuelven más"
Y así mi cariño, al tuyo enlazado
Es solo un fantasma del viejo pasado
Que ya no se puede resucitar

Callé mi amargura y tuve piedad
Sus ojos azules muy grandes se abrieron
Mi pena inaudita pronto comprendieron
Y con una mueca de mujer vencida
Me dijo: "es la vida", y no la vi más

Volvió una noche, nunca la olvido
Con la mirada triste y sin luz
Y tuve miedo de aquel espectro
Que fue locura en mi juventud

Se fue en silencio, sin un reproche
Busqué un espejo y me quise mirar
Había en mi frente tantos inviernos
Que también ella tuvo piedad

"Mentira, mentira", yo quise decirle
"Las horas que pasan ya no vuelven más"
Y así mi cariño, al tuyo enlazado
Es solo un fantasma del viejo pasado
Que ya no se puede resucitar

Callé mi amargura y tuve piedad
Sus ojos azules muy grandes se abrieron
Mi pena inaudita pronto comprendieron
Y con una mueca de mujer vencida
Me dijo: "es la vida", y no la vi más

She Came Back One Night

She came back one night, I didn't expect her
There was so much anxiety on her face
That I felt sorry to remind her
Of her felony and her cruelty

"If you forgive me," she said humbly,
The old times will come again.
The spring of our lives,
You'll see that everything will smile upon us.

"Deception, deceit!" I wanted to tell her
"The hours that pass will never come again."
And so my love, entwined with yours
Is only a ghost of the old past
Which can no longer be resurrected.

I silenced my bitterness and had mercy
Her big blue eyes opened
They soon understood my silent sorrow
And with a grimace of a defeated woman
She said, "That's life," and I never saw her again.

She came back one night, I'll never forget her
With a sad and dull look
And I was afraid of that ghost
Which was madness in my youth.

She left in silence, without a reproach
I looked for a mirror and wanted to look at myself
There were so many winters on my forehead
That she also had mercy.

"Deception, deceit!" I wanted to tell her
"The hours that pass will never come again."
And so my love, entwined with yours
Is only a ghost of the old past
Which can no longer be resurrected.

I silenced my bitterness and had mercy
Her big blue eyes opened
They soon understood my silent sorrow
And with a grimace of a defeated woman
She said, "That's life," and I never saw her again.
