En Esta Tarde Gris
Anibal Troilo
On This Gray Afternoon
I just want to cry
On this gray afternoon,
In its drumming sound
The rain speaks of you.
Regret knowing
That, because of me, never,
Darling, I’ll never see you again.
When I close my eyes
I see you just like yesterday,
Shaking as I plead
For my love once more.
And today it’s your voice that comes back to me,
On this gray afternoon.
Come,
You sadly told me,
That in this loneliness
My soul can’t take it anymore...
Come,
And have mercy on my pain,
I’m tired of crying,
Of suffering and waiting
And always talking alone
With my heart.
Come,
I love you so much,
That if you don’t come today
I’ll drown in tears...
No,
It can’t be that I go on like this,
With this love stuck in me
Like a curse.
I didn’t understand
Your desperation
And happily I drifted away
On the wings of another love.
How lonely and sad I found myself
When I saw how far I was
And confirmed my deception.
When I close my eyes
I see you just like yesterday
Shaking as I plead
For my love once more
And today it’s your voice that bleeds in me.
