Lyrics
Aún el tiempo no logró
llevar su recuerdo,
borrar las ternuras
que guardan escritas
sus cartas marchitas
que tantas lecturas
con llanto desteñí...
¡Ella sí que me olvidó!...
Y hoy frente a su puerta
la oigo contenta,
percibo sus risas
y escucho que a otro
le dice las mismas
mentiras que a mí...

Alma... que en pena vas errando,
acércate a su puerta
suplícale llorando:
Oye... perdona si te pido
mendrugos del olvido
que alegre te hace ser...
¡Tú me enseñaste a querer y he sabido!
Y haberlo aprendido
de amores me mata...
Y yo que voy aprendiendo hasta a odiarte,
tan sólo a olvidarte
no puedo aprender.

Esa voz que vuelvo a oír,
un día fue mía,
y hoy de ella es apenas
el eco el que alumbra
mi pobre alma en pena,
que cae moribunda
al pie de su balcón...
Esa voz que maldecí,
hoy oigo que a otro
promete la gloria,
y cierro los ojos,
y es una limosna
de amor, que recojo
con mi corazón.
English translation
Time has not yet succeeded in
to carry away his memory,
erase the tenderness
that keep written
his withered letters
that so many readings
with tears I faded...
She did forget me!....
And today in front of her door
I hear her happy,
I perceive her laughter
and I hear that to another
she tells the same
lies that she tells me...

Soul... that in sorrow you go wandering,
come to his door
beg him in tears:
Hey... forgive me if I ask you
crumbs of oblivion
that makes you happy...
You taught me to love and I have known!
And having learned it
of love kills me...
And I'm learning to hate you..,
just to forget you
I cannot learn.

That voice that I hear again
one day it was mine,
and today it is only
the echo that illuminates
my poor soul in pain,
that falls dying
at the foot of her balcony...
That voice that I cursed
today I hear that to another
promises glory,
and I close my eyes,
and it is an alms
of love, which I collect
with my heart.
