Letra del Vals Sueño de juventud

Sufres porque me aleja
la fe de un mañana
que busco afanoso
tan sólo por ti.
Y es un collar de estrellas
que tibio desgranan
tus ojos hermosos
llorándome así.

Sueño de juventud
que muere en tu adiós,
tímida remembranza
que añoraré,
canto de una esperanza
que ambicioné
acariciando tu alma
en mi soledad.
Mi pobre corazón
no sabe pensar,
y al ver que lo alejan de ti
sólo sabe llorar,
sólo sabe gemir,
sangrando al morir
en tu adiós…

Lírico amor primero,
caricia y tortura,
castigo y dulzura
de mi amanecer.
Yo acunaré en un canto
tu inmensa ternura
buscando en mi cielo
tu imagen de ayer.

English lyrics of the Vals "Sueño de juventud"

You suffer because the faith
of a future pulls me away,
which I eagerly seek
only for you.
And it’s a necklace of stars
gently shed
by your beautiful eyes
as they cry for me so.

A dream of youth
that dies in your goodbye,
a timid remembrance
that I’ll yearn for,
a song of hope
that I longed for
caressing your soul
in my solitude.
My poor heart
does not know how to think,
and seeing it’s torn from you
it only knows to weep,
only knows to moan,
bleeding while dying
in your goodbye…

Lyrical first love,
caress and torture,
punishment and sweetness
of my dawn.
I will cradle in a song
your immense tenderness
seeking in my sky
your image of yesterday.
