Lyrics

Spanish: Ausencia

Desvelado tu ausencia me tiene,
padeciendo mi bien, sin cesar,
y tu nombre a mi memoria viene
por la sed insaciable de amar.
Es en vano llorar,
nada calma el dolor
que atormenta mi ser abatido
destrozando mi trono de amor.

Vuelve pronto, mitiga el quebranto,
que tu ausencia me mata ¡ay, de mí!
Nadie seca el afligido llanto
que mis ojos derraman por ti.
Vago errante, sin fe,
desafiando el dolor
sin tener más amparo que el cielo
y esperando que vuelva mi amor.

verses usually not sung

Mi pasión era tierna y es tierna,
y tú en cambio no sabes querer.
¿Qué motivo te he dado, alma mía
para que así me hagas padecer?
Es en vano llorar,
nada calma el dolor
que atormenta mi ser abatido
destrozando mi trono de amor.

English: '

Your absence has me sleepless,
enduring my fortune, without end,
and your name comes to my memory
because of the insatiable thirst for love.
It’s in vain to cry,
nothing soothes the pain
that torments my beaten self
destroying my throne of love.

Come back soon, appease the sorrow,
because your absence kills me, alas poor me!
Nobody wipes off the afflicted tears
that my eyes spill for you.
I wander aimlessly, without faith,
defying pain
without any shelter but the sky
and hoping for my love to return.

My passion was tender and is tender still.
You, on the other hand, don’t know how to love.
What motive have I given you, my soul,
to make me suffer like this?
It’s in vain to cry,
nothing soothes the pain
that torments my beaten self
destroying my throne of love.
