La Cumparsita
Edmundo Rivero
The Little Parade
If you only knew,
That even deep in my soul,
I still hold that love
I had for you...
Who knows if you knew
That I’ve never forgotten you,
Looking back at your past
You’ll remember me...
Friends don’t come around anymore
Not even to visit me,
No one wants to comfort me
In my sorrow...
Since the day you left
I feel anguish in my chest,
Tell me, darling, what have you done
To my poor heart?
Still,
I always remember you
With the holy love
I had for you.
And you’re everywhere,
Piece of my life,
And those eyes that were my joy
I search for everywhere
And I can’t find them.
In the abandoned parlor
Not even the morning sun
Peeks through the window
Like when you were here,
And that little dog, my buddy,
Who wouldn’t eat for your absence,
Seeing me alone the other day
He left me too...
