Recién pulsé la guitarra
con la intención de cantarte
el verso que te gustaba
y que hice para vos.
Y apenas pude empezarlo,
me ahogué en la primera parte
donde dice que no había
más amor que el de los dos.
Esto te prueba que el corazón
del que te extraña sabe sentir.
Tibio solcito de la mañana
ando sin ganas ya de vivir.
Solo, es inútil, no puedo estar,
mi pensamiento te aprisionó,
si no te olvido ni hoy que estás lejos,
ni hoy que estoy viejo, qué sufro yo.
(Instrumental)
Estoy que no me conozco
muriéndome de tristeza,
entre las cuatro paredes
del pobre cuarto que ayer
brillaba por lo limpito
y hoy ni se pone la mesa,
porque falta la patrona
que se fue con mi querer.
I just strummed the guitar
with the intention of singing to you
the verse you used to love—
the one I wrote just for you.
But I could barely begin it
before I choked up at the very start—
right where it says
there was no love but ours.
This proves to you that the heart
of the one who misses you still knows how to feel.
Oh, warm morning sun...
I wander now with no desire left to live.
I cannot bear to be alone—it is useless;
my thoughts have held you captive.
If I cannot forget you—not even now that you are far away,
nor now that I have grown old— then what is this suffering I endure?
(Instrumental)
I feel like a stranger to myself,
dying of sorrow
within the four walls
of this humble room—the very room that, just yesterday,
shone so bright in its cleanliness.
And today the table isn't even set,
for the mistress is missing—
she who left with the one I love.
