Ay Soledad
Mercedes Sosa
Oh Loneliness
Oh, loneliness
Nestled in a handkerchief
Alone against the sky
Autumn leaf
In golden flight.
Oh, loneliness, of leaving, of staying,
Of goodbyes
Blue mist of distance, that goes
Through distant voices
Just a song
Oh, loneliness.
Oh, loneliness
Of the flower, gray and kept
Of quiet mornings
Of dormant light
In old bells.
Oh, loneliness, of leaving, of staying,
Of long forgotten.
Heart wounded in dreaming
Fleeting skies.
Just a song,
Oh, loneliness.
