Lyrics
Tu voz surgió de las sombras
como un lejano reproche;
tu voz que llora y me nombra
mientras más aún se asombran
los fantasmas de esta noche.
Están mis ojos cerrados
por el terror del silencio;
mi corazón, desgarrado
porque no me he perdonado
todo el mal que te causé.

Más, muchísimo más
extrañan mis manos tus manos amantes...
Más, muchísimo más
me aturdo al saberte tan cerca y tan distante...
Y mientras fumo forma el humo tu figura
y en el aroma del tabaco tu fragancia
me conversa de distancias,
de tu olvido y mi locura...
Tú que vives feliz
tal vez esta noche te acuerdes de mí.

Parece un sueño de angustias
del que despierto temblando
y están tiradas y mustias
las violetas de esa angustia
y mis ojos sollazando.
Los pobres siguen cerrados
por el terror del silencio...
Mi corazón, desgarrado
porque no me he perdonado
todo el mal que te causé.
English translation
Your voice came out of the shadows
like a distant reproach;
your voice that cries and names me
while still more the ghosts of this night
the ghosts of this night.
My eyes are closed
by the terror of silence;
my heart, torn apart
because I have not forgiven myself
all the evil I caused you.

More, much, much more
my hands miss your loving hands...
The more, the more
I am stunned to know you so close and yet so distant...
And while I smoke, your figure forms the smoke
and in the aroma of tobacco your fragrance
speaks to me of distances,
of your oblivion and my madness...
You who live happily
perhaps tonight you will remember me.

It seems like a dream of anguish
from which I wake up trembling
and the violets of that anguish
the violets of that anguish
and my eyes are drooping.
The poor ones are still closed
by the terror of silence...
My heart, torn apart
because I have not forgiven myself
all the evil I caused you.
