Volver Lyrics in English Carlos Gardel
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Volver by Carlos Gardel from Spanish to English.
Yo adivino el parpadeo
I guess the blinking
De las luces que a lo lejos
Of the lights that in the distance
Van marcando mi retorno
Mark my return
Son las mismas que alumbraron
They are the same that illuminated
Con sus pálidos reflejos
With their pale reflections
Hondas horas de dolor
Deep hours of pain
Y aunque no quise el regreso
And although I didn't want the return
Siempre se vuelve al primer amor
You always go back to the first love
La vieja calle donde el eco dijo
The old street where the echo said
Tuya es su vida, tuyo es su querer
Your life is hers, your love is hers
Bajo el burlón mirar de las estrellas
Under the mocking gaze of the stars
Que con indiferencia hoy me ven volver
That with indifference today see me return
Chorus 1
Volver con la frente marchita
Return with a withered forehead
Las nieves del tiempo platearon mi sien
The snows of time silvered my temple
Sentir que es un soplo la vida
To feel that life is a breath
Que veinte años no es nada
That twenty years is nothing
Que febril la mirada, errante en las sombras
That feverish the gaze, wandering in the shadows
Te busca y te nombra
Seeks you and names you
Vivir con el alma aferrada
To live with the soul clinging
A un dulce recuerdo
To a sweet memory
Que lloro otra vez
That I cry again
Tengo miedo del encuentro
I am afraid of the encounter
Con el pasado que vuelve
With the past that returns
A enfrentarse con mi vida
To confront my life
Tengo miedo de las noches
I am afraid of the nights
Que pobladas de recuerdos
That populated with memories
Encadenan mi soñar
Chain my dreaming
Pero el viajero que huye
But the traveler who flees
Tarde o temprano detiene su andar
Sooner or later stops his walk
Y aunque el olvido, que todo destruye
And although forgetfulness, which destroys everything
Haya matado mi vieja ilusión
Has killed my old illusion
Guardo escondida una esperanza humilde
I keep hidden a humble hope
Que es toda la fortuna de mi corazón
That is all the fortune of my heart
Chorus 2
Volver con la frente marchita
Return with a withered forehead
Las nieves del tiempo platearon mi sien
The snows of time silvered my temple
Sentir que es un soplo la vida
To feel that life is a breath
Que veinte años no es nada
That twenty years is nothing
Que febril la mirada, errante en las sombras
That feverish the gaze, wandering in the shadows
Te busca y te nombra
Seeks you and names you
Vivir con el alma aferrada
To live with the soul clinging
A un dulce recuerdo
To a sweet memory
Que lloro otra vez
That I cry again
