El Sueño
Carlos Gardel
The Dream
Last night, while I was sleeping
From tiredness fatigued
I don't know what beloved dream
Crossed my mind
I dreamed that I saw you
And you were looking at me
And I was telling you
My sad life, very sad
And you disappeared
When I woke up crying
I fell asleep again
After a while
But once again your portrait
I saw, with more determination
I dreamed that I was your owner
And that you were caressing me
That you gave me many kisses
Full of immense affection
And once again, like a child
I woke up crying
Oh, what a delicious dream
And beautiful in reality
Nice to dream that it's true
But waking up is painful!
To see the dreadful change
That lies ahead
I would like to dream of you, but
I have a torn soul
I would like to dream, my beloved
That I die by your side
