Hoy Que Estás Ausente [English translation]

Today when you are absent

Today when I do not look at you

Everything is different

Now nothing is the same.

There is nothing sadder

Than a parting

Since you went away

Life has changed me

Today it is night

Much more than dark

Because your presence

Now doesn’t illuminate it.

Today you are so far away

Like the stars

Which no longer are beautiful

Like my former life

In the night I dream

That again we meet

You give me a kiss

And I take you by the hand

And you love me dearly

As you used to love me

But I wake up

Everything has been a dream

Pure fantasy

But I wake up

Everything has been a dream

You are no longer mine

Today it is night….
