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 |
