La Cama Vacía Lyrics in English Ismael Miranda
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Cama Vacía by Ismael Miranda from Spanish to English.
Desde un tétrico hospital
From a gloomy hospital
Donde se hallaba internado
Where he was admitted
Casi agónico y rodeado
Almost agonizing and surrounded
De un silencio sepulcral
By a sepulchral silence
Con su ternura habitual
With his usual tenderness
La que siempre demostró
The one he always showed
Quizá con esfuerzo o no
Perhaps with effort or not
Desde su lecho sombrío
From his somber bed
Un enfermo amigo mío
A sick friend of mine
Esta carta me escribió
Wrote me this letter
Querido amigo quisiera
Dear friend, I would like
Que al recibir la presente
That upon receiving this
Te halles bien, y que la suerte
You are well, and that luck
Te acompañe por doquiera
Accompanies you everywhere
Por mi parte, mal pudiera
As for me, I could hardly
Decirte que estoy mejor
Tell you that I am better
Agobiado es mi dolor
Burdened is my pain
Postrado en mi lecho abjecto
Lying in my wretched bed
Ya soy un pobre esqueleto
I am now a poor skeleton
Que a mi mismo me da horror
That horrifies myself
La carta es para decirte
The letter is to tell you
Que si podés algún día
That if you can one day
Vení a hacerme compañía
Come to keep me company
Tu que tanto me quisiste
You who loved me so much
Estoy tan solo y tan triste
I am so alone and so sad
Que lloro sin contenerme
That I cry uncontrollably
Ya nadie suele quererme
No one usually loves me
Todos se muestran impíos
Everyone shows themselves unkind
De tantos amigos míos
Of so many friends of mine
Ninguno ha venido a verme
None have come to see me
Hoy yo te doy la razón
Today I agree with you
Y veo en mi soledad
And I see in my loneliness
Que esta llamada amistad
That this so-called friendship
Es tan sólo una ilusión
Is just an illusion
Cuando uno está en condición
When one is in good condition
Tiene amigos a granel
Has friends aplenty
Pero si el destino cruel
But if cruel fate
Hacia un abismo nos tira
Throws us into an abyss
Vemos que todo es mentira
We see that everything is a lie
Y que no hay amigo fiel
And that there is no loyal friend
Bueno, así yo me despido
Well, this is how I bid farewell
Y al poner punto final
And as I put an end
Recibe un abrazo leal
Receive a loyal hug
Del quien siempre te ha querido
From the one who has always loved you
A tu mamá, que no olvido
To your mom, whom I don't forget
También mis recuerdos dale
Also give my regards
Mucha devoción mostrale
Show her much devotion
Y de caricias colmarla
And shower her with caresses
Tu que la tenés cuidala
You who have her, take care of her
¡Si supieras cuánto vale!
If you knew how much she's worth!
Llegó el domingo, y ansioso
Sunday arrived, and anxious
Por aquel amigo leal
For that loyal friend
Penetré en el hospital
I entered the hospital
Angustiado y pesaroso
Anxious and sorrowful
Me dirigí silencioso
I silently headed
Al lugar donde sabía
To the place where I knew
Que su lecho encontraría
I would find his bed
Mas allí yo lo encontré
But there I found him
Y asombrado me quedé
And I was astonished
Al ver la cama vacía
To see the empty bed
