FEIGNING INDIFFERENCE
Feigning indifference, fearful
she talked with me,
of our love of one day, of those dreams
of happiness and hope.
In evoking such intimate memories,
let my soul tremble,
and the dead heart, full of life,
I felt it shake.
We talk about love, what about us
far it spread its wings,
and happy and joyful we remember
the past fortune ...
Later ... I told you about my lost illusion,
of my mocked passion,
and I showed you my leprous heart
That scares me myself
You were horrified! ... and bowing tremulously
the face ashamed,
those lips tried for forgiveness
say a word.
But pride triumphed, and you refused
to confess your fault ...
However, from your eyes, trembling,
I saw a tear roll.
Blessed are you who feel and cry
the past fortune!
Woe to him who in his pain does not have
no consolation, no tears!
