My Antonia |
| He said, «Oh my love, oh my Antonia |
| You with the dark eyes and palest of skin |
| Tonight I am going from Santa Maria |
| Wait for me 'til I’m in your arms once again» |
| She held me, she kissed me, begged me not to leave her |
| To cross on the mountain, my fortune to win |
| But a letter now tells me she died of a fever |
| And I’ll never see her in this world again |
| You are my sorrow, you are my splendor |
| You are my shelter through storm and through strife |
| You are the one I will always remember |
| All of the days of my life |
| I curse the ambition that took me far from her |
| For treasure not ever so fine or so fair |
| As the flash of her smile or the touch of her fingers |
| The fire in her heart and the smell of her hair |
| She left me a note that cried «Do not weep for me |
| Behold, you are with me as sure as the stars |
| That rise in the evening to shine down upon me |
| Behold, I am with you wherever you are» |
| I can still hear him, he calls to me only |
| What once was begotten shall come to no end |
| But the road is so long and the nights are so lonely |
| My soul just to hold him in this world again |
| You are my sorrow, you are my splendor |
| You are my shelter through storm and through strife |
| You are the one I will always remember |
| All of the days of my life |
| Oh my love, oh my Antonia |
| You with the dark eyes and palest of skin |
| How could I know that night in Santa Maria |
| I’d never see you in this world again |
