Vendrás alguna vez

Si supieras que estoy solo
entre tanta y tanta gente,
si supieras que estoy triste
mientras ríen locamente;
tengo todo y me parece
que sin vos no tengo nada...
y en la noche atormentada de mi amor,
te pregunta temblando mi voz.

Vendrás alguna vez... decime.
Vendrás por el camino de mi soledad.
Ya no me importa lo que dirá la gente
ya ves, humildemente te pido que volvás.

Vendrás alguna vez... mentime.
Mentime si es que nunca... nunca volverás.
Porque prefiero vivir de esa mentira,
que andar tras de la muerte sabiendo la verdad.

Tu pasado me persigue,
tan tenaz como la sombra,
y en la noche solitaria
oigo al viento que te nombra.

Yo te llamo en mi amargura
aunque nadie me conteste,
y es inútil que proteste, mi rencor
es más fuerte que todo mi amor.

English translation

If you knew I was alone
among so many people,
if you knew that I am sad
while they laugh madly;
I have everything and it seems to me
that without you I have nothing...
and in the tormented night of my love,
my voice trembles and asks you.

Will you come sometime... tell me.
You will come along the path of my loneliness.
I don't care anymore what people will say
you see, I humbly ask you to come back.

Will you ever come... lie to me.
Lie to me if you'll never... never come back.
Because I'd rather live on that lie
than walk after death knowing the truth.

Your past haunts me,
as tenacious as the shadow,
and in the lonely night
I hear the wind naming you.

I call you in my bitterness
though no one answers me,
and it is useless for me to protest, my rancor
is stronger than all my love.
