[English]

Solitude

The only one who comes

When everyone leaves

The only one with whom

I can cry

Who doesn't reproach me at all

Let me vent, ah!

Solitude

I know that for a time

I distanced myself from you

And broke the promise

Not to be unhappy

And now I'm here, crying

For having loved him so much

Go and find him wherever you can

And take him away from the crowd

Take him by the hand

And lock yourselves in his room, and

Lift him up, bring him down, love him

And, if he wants, tear him apart

And make him feel this

That has me here, breathless

Alone, so alone, so alone, so

Do me a favor, I beg you

Make him feel what I feel

Alone, so alone, so alone, so

Do me a favor, I implore you

And let him know that I adore him

Solitude!

Solitude

Dressed in night

Or in clarity

You whisper in my ear

"He won't return"

You give me no comfort

But you speak the truth, yes!

Love him like no other

Who doesn't want to know more of the world

Who doesn't recognize family

Who can't conceive life without you

That, for a kiss, he endures disdain

And dreams wrapped in sleeplessness

That your crumbs are his joy

On his knees, crying, give thanks

And then

Only then

Let him know

Let him know

That it's for me, that he has you

That it's for me, that he feels you

Alone, so alone, so alone, so

Do me a favor, I beg you

Make him feel what I feel

Alone, so alone, so alone, so

Do me the favor, I implore you

And let him know that I adore him

Solitude!

Solitude!

Solitude

[Spanish]

Soledad

La única que viene

Cuando todos se van

La única con la que

Puedo llorar

Que no me hace ni un reproche

Deja que me desahogue, ¡ah!

Soledad

Sé que por un tiempo

Me alejé de ti

Y rompí la promesa

Para no ser infeliz

Y ahora estoy aquí, llorando

Por haberlo amado tanto

Ve y búscalo en donde lo encuentres

Y arrebátalo de entre la gente

Llévatelo de la mano

Y enciérrense en su cuarto, y

Súbelo, bájalo, ámalo

Y, si él quiere, despedázalo

Y hazlo que sienta esto

Que me tiene a mí, aquí, sin aliento

Sola, tan sola, tan sola, tan

Hazme un favor, yo te lo ruego

Haz que él sienta lo que siento

Sola, tan sola, tan sola, tan

Hazme un favor, yo te lo imploro

Y que él sepa que lo adoro

¡Soledad!

Soledad

Vestida de noche

O de claridad

Me dices al oído

"Él no volverá"

No me das ningún consuelo

Pero hablas con la verdad, ¡si!

Ámalo como a ninguno

Que no quiera saber más del mundo

Que no reconozca familia

Que no conciba sin ti la vida

Que, por un beso, él aguante desprecios

Y que sueñe envuelto en desvelos

Que sean su alegría tus migajas

De rodillas, llorando, dé gracias

Y entonces

Solo entonces

Que sepa

Que lo sepa

Que es por mí, que te tiene

Que es por mí, que te siente

Sola, tan sola, tan sola, tan

Hazme un favor, yo te lo ruego

Haz que él sienta lo que siento

Sola, tan sola, tan sola, tan

Hazme el favor, yo te lo imploro

Y que él sepa que lo adoro

¡Soledad!

¡Soledad!
