The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Soledad" by Andrés Calamaro.
Lyrics
Yo no quiero que nadie a mí me diga
Que de tu dulce vida
Vos ya me has arrancado.
Mi corazón una mentira pide
Para esperar tu imposible llamado.
Yo no quiero que nadie se imagine
Cómo es de amarga y honda mi eterna soledad,
En mi larga noche el minuto muele
La pesadilla de su lento tic-tac.
En la doliente sombra de mi cuarto, al esperar
Sus pasos que quizás no volverán,
A veces me parece que ellos detienen su andar
Sin atreverse luego a entrar.
Pero no hay nadie y ella no viene,
Es un fantasma que crea mi ilusión.
Y que al desvanecerse va dejando su visión,
Cenizas en mi corazón.
En la plateada esfera del reloj,
Las horas que agonizan se niegan a pasar.
Hay un desfile de extrañas figuras
Que me contemplan con burlón mirar.
Es una caravana interminable
Que se hunde en el olvido con su mueca espectral,
Se va con ella tu boca que era mía,
Sólo me queda la angustia de mi mal.
Lyrics translation
I don't want anyone to tell me
That of your sweet life
You've already ripped me out.
My heart a lie asks
To wait for Your Impossible call.
I don't want anyone to imagine
How bitter and deep is my eternal loneliness,
On my long night the minute grinds
The nightmare of his slow tic-tac.
In the sorrowful shadow of my room, waiting
His steps that may not return,
Sometimes it seems to me that they stop walking
Without daring to enter.
But there's no one and she's not coming,
It's a ghost that creates my illusion.
And that when he vanishes he leaves his vision,
Ashes in my heart.
On the silver dial of the watch,
The hours they agonize refuse to pass.
There's a parade of strange figures
They look at me with mockery.
It's an endless caravan
That sinks into oblivion with his spectral grimace,
It goes with it your mouth that was mine,
All I have left is the anguish of my evil.
