Dulce amargura

Those were happy days
That rocked my love and your reverie,
The tenderness in your arms attracted
To the ideal shelter of your caresses.
The intoxicating breath of your mouth
Was later poison for my life,
Cup of pain that I drank with fervor
On those lips that love ignited.
 
Sweet bitterness,
Sorrow of my heart.
An icy wind one day carried you away,
And eternal are now for me
The hours that your absence overshadowed.
Sweet bitterness,
My torture and my obsession.
Why did your beloved mouth lie to me?
And in your kisses
And in your hands
And in your eyes
The mystery spilled...
So much betrayal.
 
Forever has the enchantment been broken
That nested in those hours,
In my anguish the sorrows cry out so much
That sorrows today are my companions.
Walking without haste or destination
Through the streets of God I go with my sorrow,
My friend is bitterness, and it is her voice
Who speaks alone with my heart.
