Mi Noche Triste

Lady who left me stranded
In the best of my life
Leaving my soul wounded
And thorns in my heart,
Knowing that I loved you,
That you were my joy
And my embracing dream...
There is no comfort for me anymore
And that's why I get drunk
To forget your love.

When I go to my little place
And see it messy,
All sad, abandoned,
I feel like crying,
I stop for a long time
Gazing at your picture
To try to console myself.

There are no longer in the room
Those pretty little bottles
Adorned with ribbons
All of the same color,
And the mirror is fogged up,
It seems like it has cried
Due to the absence of your love.

At night when I lie down
I can't close the door
Because leaving it open
I delude myself that you're coming back.
I always bring cookies
To have with a little mate
Like when you were here...
And if you could see the cat
How angry she gets
When she doesn't see us both.

The guitar in the closet
Is still hanging there;
No one sings in it
Or makes its strings vibrate...
And the lamp in the room
Has also felt your absence
Because its light has not wanted
To illuminate my sad night.
