Fea(original) |
Procurando que el mundo no la vea |
ahí va la pobre fea |
camino del taller; |
y a su paso, cual todas la mañanas, |
las burlas inhumanas |
la hieren por doquier. |
Cuando alguno le dice una torpeza |
inclina la cabeza |
transida de dolor, |
y piensa con amargo desencanto: |
Por qué se reirán tanto |
de mi fealdad, ¡Señor… |
Una noche su viejita |
en el cuarto llorando la encontró |
y la fea, ¡pobrecita!, |
la tragedia de su alma le confió; |
aquel hombre que debía |
conducirla muy pronto ante el altar, |
con su amiga Rosalía, |
la que ella más quería, |
se acaba de escapar… |
Cada vez que la llevan a una fiesta, |
en procura de olvido y distracción, |
con el último acorde de la orquesta |
en su alma agoniza otra ilusión. |
Sus amigas ya todas se han casado; |
sólo ella está huérfana de amor, |
¡pobre fea!; |
y ayer le han encargado |
el ajuar de su hermana la menor. |
En plena juventud ya estaba vieja, |
nunca exhaló una queja, |
al ver tanta maldad, |
soportando en su alma sola y mustia |
como una flor de angustia, |
la cruz de su fealdad. |
Para todos tenía una sonrisa; |
fue noble, fue sumisa; |
su drama nadie vio. |
Pero fue tan pesada su cadena, |
tan grande fue su pena, |
¡que anoche se mató… |
(translation) |
Trying not to let the world see her |
there goes the poor ugly |
workshop road; |
and as he passed her, like every morning, |
the inhuman taunts |
they hurt her everywhere. |
When someone tells you something clumsy |
she bows her head |
transit of pain, |
and she thinks with bitter disappointment: |
why will they laugh so much |
of my ugliness, Lord... |
One night his old lady |
in her room crying he found her |
and the ugly one, poor thing! |
the tragedy of her soul she entrusted to him; |
that man who should |
lead her very soon before the altar, |
with her friend Rosalía de ella, |
the one she loved the most, |
she just ran away... |
Every time they take her to a party, |
in search of oblivion and distraction, |
with the last chord of the orchestra |
in her soul another illusion is dying. |
Her friends have all gotten married; |
only she is an orphan of love, |
poor ugly! |
and yesterday they commissioned him |
the trousseau of her sister of her the youngest of her. |
In full youth she was already old, |
she never exhaled a complaint, |
seeing so much evil, |
enduring in her soul of her alone and withered |
like a flower of anguish, |
the cross of his ugliness from her. |
For everyone she had a smile; |
she was noble, she was submissive; |
her drama no one saw. |
But her chain was so heavy, |
so great was his sorrow for her, |
That she killed herself last night... |
