Letra del Vals Ay Aurora

Ay Aurora me has echado al abandono.
Yo que tanto y que tanto te he quería
y tu negra traición me echó el olvido
Ay Aurora… si te amo todavía.

Mas yo no puedo castigarla como debo esta falsía.
Castígala, Señor, con toda tu energía.
Que sufra mucho, pero que nunca muera,
Ay Aurora… si te amo todavía.

Mas no pretendas recuperar el trono
que tenías en mi pecho y lo has perdido.
Hasta el fondo del alma me has herido
y del fondo del alma te perdono.

English lyrics of the Vals "Ay Aurora"

Oh Aurora, you have left me all alone.
I who loved you and loved you so much,
and your dark betrayal cast me aside,
Oh Aurora… if I still love you yet.

But I cannot punish her as I should for this deception.
Punish her, Lord, with all your might.
Let her suffer greatly, but never die,
Oh Aurora… if I still love you yet.

But do not try to reclaim the throne
you had in my heart and have lost.
To the depth of my soul, you have wounded me,
and from the depth of my soul, I forgive you.
