Lyrics
Me diste un mundo de paz y alegría,
Y una fortuna que yo no tenía,
Después de tanto rodar y llorar
Y escapar del fantasma de ayer.
 
Qué claros fueron, entonces, mis días,
Huyó la noche, sabiéndote mía,
Aquel pasado de horror
Con la fe de tu amor, para siempre olvidé,
 
Felicidad, que pudo ser y que perdí
La tarde gris, lejana y gris, en que me fui,
Para arrastrar mi derrota y mi dolor
Y enloquecer, sin tus besos y tu voz,
Y suplicar vanamente tu perdón
Que no logré escuchar más...
Felicidad, que pudo ser y que rozó
Con un fulgor de luz azul, mi soledad.
English translation
You gave me a world of peace and joy,
And a fortune I didn't have,
After so much rolling and crying
And escape the ghost of yesterday.
 
How clear, then, were my days,
The night fled, knowing you were mine,
That past of horror
With the faith of your love, I forgot forever,
 
Happiness, that could have been and that I lost
The gray afternoon, far away and gray, when I left,
To drag my defeat and my pain
And go mad, without your kisses and your voice,
And vainly beg your forgiveness
That I could no longer hear...
Happiness, that could have been and that brushed
With a gleam of blue light, my loneliness.
