Letra del Vals Recuerdo (2)

Murió mi compañera idolatrada
La mujer que jamás olvidaré,
Y que tengo en el alma reflejada
Como tiene en su seno la alborada
La estrella del callado amanecer.

En la noche callada y misteriosa
Su recuerdo me inunda el corazón,
Y su nombre dulcísimo rebosa
De mis labios temblando de pasión.
Ella fue la esperanza de mi vida,
Mi consuelo, mi dicha y mi sentir,
La adorada mujer que no se olvida
Y que se lleva en el alma hasta morir.
Yo la amaba con ciega idolatría
Ella fue la ventura para mí,
Porque puso en mi vida tan sombría
Con su dulce cariño, la alegría
Que consuela la angustia de vivir.

Para llevarla al suspirado cielo
Ha bajado un ángel del Señor
Ella se fue y mi vida sin consuelo,
Lloró por siempre jamás, su eterno duelo
¡Oh, cruel destino, en dónde está mi amor!

English lyrics of the Vals "Recuerdo (2)"

My beloved partner passed away,
The woman I will never forget,
Whom I carry in my soul like an echo
As the dawn carries the star of the quiet morning.

In the silent, mysterious night,
Her memory floods my heart,
And her sweetest name overflows
From my lips trembling with passion.
She was the hope of my life,
My comfort, my joy, and my feeling,
The adored woman who is unforgettable,
And who is carried in the soul until death.
I loved her with blind worship,
She was fortune to me,
For she brought joy to my gloomy life
With her sweet love,
Consoling the anguish of living.

To take her to the longed-for heaven,
An angel of the Lord descended
She left and my life without comfort
Cries forever, her eternal mourning.
Oh, cruel fate, where is my love!
