Lyrics of Idilio - Compay Segundo

Idilio (original)

Mueren ya las ilusiones del ayer
Que sacié con lujurioso amor
Y mueren también con sus promesas crueles
La inspiración que un día te brindé
Con candor el alma entera yo le di
Pensando nuestro idilio consagrar
Sin pensar que ella lo que buscaba en mí
Era el amor de loca juventud

(translation)

The illusions of yesterday die
That I sated with lustful love
And they also die with their cruel promises
The inspiration that one day I gave you
With candor the whole soul I gave him
Thinking our idyll consecrate
Without thinking that what she was looking for in me
It was the love of crazy youth
