Te llaman Soledad
Eladia Blázquez
They Call You Solitude
The house without your shadow, filled with shadows...
The jasmine flower doesn't want to perfume.
And everything is a silence that names you without wanting to
And everything is an anguish that says Solitude!
I go through those things that you caressed so much,
with those warm hands that I no longer have...
If everything in this house knows my sorrow
If everything in this house is called Solitude!
Solitude!... Whoever named me
didn't know what they were doing. Solitude!...
I deny your love and my name
that has given me more than solitude!
Solitude!... May you never be trapped
by an affection that treats you without loyalty.
Because you may know my sadness
that of my name, Solitude!
My dream no longer dreams of you returning to my arms,
nor does it expect to hear your steps trembling with anxiety.
If in this house, all that remains for me... perhaps...
Is the echo of my name, saying Solitude!
