Translation of the song lyrics Soledad - Francisco Canaro

Soledad (original)

Yo no quiero que nadie a mi me diga
Que de tu dulce vida tu ya me has arrancado
Mi corazón una mentira pide
Para esperar tu imposible llamado
Yo no quiero que nadie se imagine
Como es de amarga y honda mi eterna soledad
Pasan las noches y el minutero muele
La pesadilla de su lento tic tac
En la doliente sombra de mi cuarto al esperar
Sus pasos que quiza no volveran
A veces me parece que ellos detienen su andar
Sin atreverse luego a entrar
Pero no hay nadie y ella no viene
Es un fantasma que crea mi ilusion
Y que al desvanecerse va dejando su vision
Cenizas en mi corazón
En la plateada esfera del reloj
Las horas que agonizan se niegan a pasar
Hay un desfile de extrañas figuras
Que me contemplan con burlon mirar
Es una caravana interminable
Que se hunde en el olvido con su mueca espectral
Se va con ella tu boca que era mia
Solo me queda la angustia de mi mal

Soledad (translation)

I don't want anyone to tell me
That you have already ripped me out of your sweet life
my heart asks for a lie
To wait for your impossible call
I don't want anyone to imagine
How bitter and deep my eternal loneliness is
The nights go by and the minute hand grinds
The nightmare of its slow tick tock
In the sorrowful shadow of my room while waiting
His steps that may not return
Sometimes it seems to me that they stop their walk
Without daring to enter
But there is no one and she does not come
She is a ghost that creates my illusion
And that when she fades she leaves her vision
ashes in my heart
On the silver clock face
The dying hours refuse to pass
There's a parade of strange figures
That they contemplate me with mocking look
It's an endless caravan
That sinks into oblivion with its spectral grimace
Your mouth that was mine goes with it
I only have the anguish of my evil
