El Adiós
Edgardo Donato
The Goodbye
In the afternoon that was dying in shadows
We kindly said goodbye
You didn't see my deep sadness
And as you left, we both smiled
And the desolation, watching you leave
Broke with emotion my poor voice
The happiest dream died in the goodbye
And the sky darkened for me
In vain the soul
With a veiled voice
Poured out sorrow into the night
Only a silence
Deep and serious
Cried in my heart
Over the time that has passed
You always live in me
And these fields that saw us
Smiling together
Ask me if forgetting
Cured me of you
And among the winds
My complaints go away
Dying in echoes
Looking for you
While far away
Other arms and other kisses
Imprison you and tell me
That you will never return
When spring shines again
And the fields are painted with color
Once again the pain and memories
Of nostalgia will fill my heart
The birds will populate the place with trills
And the sky will pour out its clarity
But my heart will live in shadows
And the wing of pain will call you
In vain the soul
Will tell the Moon
With a veiled voice the sorrow
And there will be a silence
Deep and serious
Crying in my heart
