These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Todavía quedan restos de humedad,
There are still traces of moisture,
sus olores llenan ya mi soledad,
their smells already fill my solitude,
en la cama su silueta
in bed his silhouette
se dibuja cual promesa
which promise is drawn
de llenar el breve espacio
to fill the short space
en que no está...
in which it is not...
Todavía yo no sé si volverá,
I still don't know if he will return
nadie sabe, al día siguiente, lo que hará.
nobody knows, the next day, what he will do.
Rompe todos mis esquemas,
Break all my schemes
no confiesa ni una pena,
He doesn't confess a single pity
no me pide nada a cambio
does not ask me for anything in return
de lo que dá.
of what he gives.
Suele ser violenta why tierna,
She is usually violent and tender,
no habla de uniones eternas,
she does not speak of eternal unions,
mas se entrega cual si hubiera
but she gives herself as if there were
sólo un día para amar.
just one day to love
No comparte una reunión,
She doesn't share a meeting,
mas le gusta la canción
but she likes the song
que comprometa su pensar.
that compromises her thinking.
Todavía no pregunté «¿te quedarás?».
I still didn't ask "will you stay?"
Temo mucho a la respuesta de un «jamás».
I am very afraid of the answer of a "never".
La prefiero compartida
I prefer shared
antes que vaciar mi vida,
rather than empty my life,
no es perfecta
She is not perfect
mas se acerca a lo que yo
but she gets closer to what I
simplemente soñé...
I just dreamed..
