Paroles et traduction Roberto Goyeneche - Sombras del Puerto

Sombras del Puerto

Fue en el puerto que te hallé
Ya sin fe ni valor,
En la densa oscuridad
De una noche cruel,
Como un barco anclado,
Triste y desolado,
Y en tu gris mirada
Huellas del pasado.
Sin saber quién eras vos
Te brindé un hogar,
Donde al fin hallaste
Amor, ternura y paz. ¿Cuándo podrás pagarme,
Algún día,lo que humilde te ofrecíay que tanto me costaba?
Grito porque mi alma se espanta,
Y la fe se me quebranta
Al sentirse defraudada.
Nunca, pensé que al ver mi pobreza,
Por delirios de grandezas
Vos te ibas a alejar.
Ya no existe más amor
Pa′ querer vivir.
Y hasta el puerto sin pensar
Arrastré mi mal.
Y él me ha comprendido
Sabe que he traído,
Rabia, mucha rabia
Y mi amor herido.
No me amarga tu querer¡Tan pa' l mal!
Más amargo es comprender La realidad...

Port Shadows

It was in the port that I found you
Already without faith or courage
In the thick darkness
Of a cruel night
Like a ship at anchor
Sad and desolate
And in your gray gaze
Traces of the past.
Without knowing who you were
I offered you a home
Where at last you found
Love, tenderness and peace. When will you be able to repay me,
Some day, what I humbly offered you and that cost me so much?
I cry out because my soul is frightened,
And my faith is broken
As I feel betrayed.
I never thought that on seeing my poverty
In pursuit of grandiose delusions,
You would walk away.
There is no more love left
To want to live.
And even to the port without thinking
I dragged my ills.
And it has understood me
It knows that I have brought,
Anger, much anger
And my wounded love.
Your wish not to love me does not embitter me: so much the better!
More bitter is to understand the reality...
