La cumparsita (Si supieras)
Pascual Contursi
The little parade (If you knew)
If you knew,
that still within my soul,
I keep that affection
I had for you...
Who knows if you knew
that I have never forgotten you,
returning to your past
you will remember me...
Friends no longer come
not even to visit me,
no one wants to console me
in my affliction...
Since the day you left
I feel anguish in my chest,
tell me, woman, what have you done
to my poor heart?
However,
I always remember you
with the holy affection
I had for you.
And you are everywhere,
part of my life,
and those eyes that were my joy
I look for them everywhere
and I can't find them.
The abandoned parrot
no longer even the morning sun
appears through the window
like when you were here,
and that little dog companion,
who wouldn't eat in your absence,
seeing me alone the other day
also left me...
