|
| Hoy te evoco emocionado, mi divina Margarita
| Today I evoke you with emotion, my divine Margarita
|
| Hoy te añoro en mis recuerdos, ¡oh, mi dulce inspiración!
| Today I miss you in my memories, oh, my sweet inspiration!
|
| Soy tu Armando, el que te clama, mi sedosa muñequita
| I am your Armando, the one who cries out to you, my silky little doll
|
| El que te llora… el que reza, embargado de emoción
| The one who cries to you... the one who prays, overwhelmed with emotion
|
| El idilio que se ha roto me ha robado paz y calma
| The broken idyll has robbed me of peace and calm
|
| Y la muerte ha profanado la virtud de nuestro amor
| And death has defiled the virtue of our love
|
| ¡Para qué quiero la vida… si mi alma destrozada
| Why do I want life... if my shattered soul
|
| Sufre una angustia suprema… vive este cruento dolor
| He suffers a supreme anguish… he lives this bloody pain
|
| Hoy de hinojos en la tumba donde descansa tu cuerpo
| Today on knees in the grave where your body rests
|
| He brindado el homenaje que tu alma suspiró;
| I have offered the homage that your soul sighed for;
|
| He llevado el ramillete de camelias ya marchitas
| I have brought the bouquet of camellias already withered
|
| Que aquel día me ofreciste como emblema de tu amor
| That day you offered me as an emblem of your love
|
| Al ponerlas junto al lecho donde dormías tranquila
| By putting them next to the bed where you slept peacefully
|
| Una lágrima muy tierna de mis ojos descendió
| A very tender tear from my eyes fell
|
| Y rezando por tu alma, mi divina Margarita
| And praying for your soul, my divine Margarita
|
| Un sollozo entrecortado en mi pecho se anidó
| A ragged sob nestled in my chest
|
| Nunca olvido aquella noche que besándome en la boca
| I never forget that night kissing me on the mouth
|
| Una camelia muy frágil de tu pecho se cayó;
| A very fragile camellia fell from your chest;
|
| La tomaste tristemente, la besaste como loca
| You took her sadly, you kissed her like crazy
|
| Y entre aquellos pobres pétalos, una mancha apareció
| And between those poor petals, a spot appeared
|
| ¡Era sangre que vertías! | It was blood you spilled! |
| ¡Oh, mi pobre Margarita!
| Oh my poor Margaret!
|
| Eran signos de agonía… eran huellas de tu mal
| They were signs of agony… they were traces of your evil
|
| Y te fuiste lentamente, vida mía, muñequita
| And you left slowly, my life, little doll
|
| Pues la Parca te llamaba con su sorna tan fatal | Well, the Grim Reaper called you with her sarcasm of her so fatal |
