Hoy viene a mí
today comes to me
La damisela soledad
the lonely damsel
Con pamela,
with hat,
Impertinentes y botón
lorgnettes and button
De amapola en el oleaje
Poppy in the surf
De sus vuelos
of their flights
Hoy la voluble
today the fickle
Señorita es amistad
miss is friendship
Y acaricia finalmente
And caresses finally
El corazón,
The heart,
Con su más delgado
With hers thinner
Pétalo de hielo
ice petal
Por eso hoy,
That's why today
Gentilmente
kindly
Te convido a pasear
I invite you for a walk
Por el patio,
through the yard,
Hasta el florido pabellón
Up to the flowery pavilion
De aquel árbol
of that tree
Que plantaron los abuelos
What did the grandparents plant?
Hoy el ensueño es
Today the dream is
Como el musgo en el brocal,
Like the moss on the brocal,
Dibujando los abismos
drawing the abysses
De un amor
of a love
Melancólico, sutil,
Melancholic, subtle,
Pálido cielo
pale sky
Viene a mí, avanza,
It comes to me, it advances,
Viene tan despacio,
It comes so slowly
Viene en una danza
comes in a dance
Leve del espacio
light from space
Cedo, me hago lacio
I give in, I get straight
Y ya vuelo, ave
And I already fly, bird
Se mece la nave
the ship rocks
Lenta, como el tul
Slow, like tulle
En la brisa suave,
In the gentle breeze,
Niña del azul
blue girl
Oh melancolía,
Oh melancholy
Novia silenciosa,
silent bride,
Íntima pareja del ayer;
Intimate couple of yesterday;
Oh melancolía,
Oh melancholy
Amante dichosa,
happy lover,
Siempre me arrebata
always snatches me
Tu placer;
Your pleasure;
Oh melancolía,
Oh melancholy
Señora del tiempo,
time lady,
Beso que retorna
kiss that returns
Como el mar;
Like the sea;
Oh melancolía,
Oh melancholy
Rosa del aliento,
breath rose,
Dime quién me puede amar
tell me who can love me
Hoy viene a mí
today comes to me
La damisela soledad
the lonely damsel
Con pamela,
with hat,
Impertinentes y botón
lorgnettes and button
De amapola en el oleaje
Poppy in the surf
De sus vuelos
of their flights
Hoy la voluble
today the fickle
Señorita es amistad
miss is friendship
Y acaricia finalmente
And caresses finally
El corazón
The heart
Con su más delgado
With hers thinner
Pétalo de hielo
ice petal
Por eso hoy
that's why today
Oh melancolía,
Oh melancholy
Señora del tiempo,
time lady,
Beso que retorna
kiss that returns
Como el mar;
Like the sea;
Oh melancolía,
Oh melancholy
Rosa del aliento,
breath rose,
Dime quién me puede amar
tell me who can love me
