La sombra (Yaraví)
Language: Spanish (Español)
Cuando triste el corazón
Mi llanto sangra en silencio
Es en vano que otros labios
Busquen darme algún consuelo
Ha de brotar de mi quena
El dolor por su desprecio
¡Ay de mí! ¡Ah!
Así viviré, ¡ay de mí!
Adorando en mis desvelos
La sombra de aquel cariño
Triste y hondo de mis sueños
Y mientras dure la vida
En mi corazón sediento
Viviré por esa sombra
Solo, mudo, sordo y ciego

The shadow (Yaraví)
Language: English after the Spanish (Español)
When [my] heart [is] sad
My sobbing bleeds in silence;
Other lips seek in vain
To give me some consolation;
[My] sorrow must sprout from my flute
Because of their disdain.
Ah, woe is me! Ah!
I will live like this, woe is me!
Adoring in my sleeplessness
The shadow of some affection of my dreams,
Sad and deep.
And as long as life lasts
In my thirsty heart,
I will live for that shadow,
Alone, mute, deaf, and blind.
