| Alma En Pena (original) | Alma En Pena (translation) |
|---|---|
| Aún el tiempo no logró | Still time has not succeeded |
| Llevar su recuerdo | Carry your souvenir |
| Borrar las ternuras | Erase the tenderness |
| Que guardan escritas | What do they keep written |
| Sus cartas marchitas | Your withered letters |
| Que tantas lecturas | how many readings |
| Con llanto desteñí… | With tears I faded... |
| ¡Ella sí que me olvidó… | She really forgot me... |
| Y hoy frente a su puerta | And today in front of your door |
| La oigo contenta | I hear her happy |
| Percibo sus risas | I hear your laughs |
| Y escucho que a otro | And I hear that another |
| Le dice las mismas | She tells him the same |
| Mentiras que a mí… | Lies that to me... |
| Alma… que en pena vas errando | Soul… that in sorrow you are wandering |
| Acércate a su puerta | come to his door |
| Suplícale llorando: | Beg him crying: |
| Oye… perdona si te pido | Hey... excuse me if I ask you |
| Mendrugos del olvido | crusts of oblivion |
| Que alegre te hace ser… | How happy it makes you be... |
| ¡Tú me enseñaste a querer y he sabido! | You taught me to love and I have known! |
| Y haberlo aprendido | and have learned |
| De amores me mata… | Of love she kills me... |
| Y yo que voy aprendiendo hasta a odiarte | And I am learning to hate you |
| Tan sólo a olvidarte | just to forget you |
| No puedo aprender | i cant learn |
| Esa voz que vuelvo a oír | That voice that I hear again |
| Un día fue mía | One day it was mine |
| Y hoy de ella es apenas | And today it is hardly hers |
| El eco el que alumbra | The echo that shines |
| Mi pobre alma en pena | My poor soul in pain |
| Que cae moribunda | that falls dying |
| Al pie de su balcón… | At the foot of her balcony... |
| Esa voz que maldecí | That voice that I cursed |
| Hoy oigo que a otro | Today I hear that another |
| Promete la gloria | promise the glory |
| Y cierro los ojos | And I close my eyes |
| Y es una limosna | And she is a handout |
| De amor, que recojo | Of love, which I collect |
| Con mi corazón | With my heart |
