Lyrics
Hace tiempo que te noto que estás triste,
mujercita juguetona, pizpireta:
has cambiado, ya no eres tan coqueta
cual las flores primorosas de un altar...
¿Qué te pasa? ¿Desengaños que has sufrido?
¿Las espinas de una rosa te han herido?
¿O el amor que un ingrato te ha fingido?
¿O un vacío imposible de llenar?

Yo también vivo triste desde un día
en qué cosas de la vida me pasaron
y un surco de recuerdos me dejaron
y un dolor imposible de ocultar...
Yo te amaba y me amabas tiernamente,
mas las fuerzas del destino se opusieron
y desde entonces nuestras almas tuvieron
un vacío imposible de llenar.

¡Tus encantos, tus sonrisas tan amables!...
¡EI perfume que exhalaban tus violetas!... !
Y tus bucles y tus ojos, que princesas
anhelantes te quisieran imitar!
Mas la vida tiene abismos insondables...
Hay caminos del destino intransitables...
Hay recuerdos de amor inolvidables...
¡Y hay vacíos imposibles de llenar!
English translation
I've noticed you've been sad for a long time,
playful, mischievous little woman:
you have changed, you are no longer so flirtatious
like the primordial flowers of an altar...
What's wrong with you? Have you suffered disappointments?
Have the thorns of a rose wounded you?
Or the love that an ungrateful man has pretended to you?
Or an emptiness impossible to fill?

I too have lived sadly since a day
when things in life happened to me
and a furrow of memories left me
and a pain impossible to hide...
I loved you and you loved me tenderly,
but the forces of destiny opposed me
and since then our souls had
an emptiness impossible to fill.

Your charms, your smiles so kindly!...
The perfume exhaled by your violets!.... !
And your curls and your eyes, which princesses would longingly
longing princesses would like to imitate!
But life has unfathomable abysses....
There are roads of destiny impassable...
There are unforgettable memories of love...
And there are gaps impossible to fill!
