Garúa (1943)

Drizzle
lyrics by Enrique Cadícamo
What a night–filled with chills and fatigue!
The wind carries a strange lament,
the night is like a deep well of shadows,
and among the shadows I walk, so slowly…
while all the while the drizzle
underlines it all
putting its spines
through my heart…
On this night, so cold and so mine
I amaze myself, always dwelling on the same thing…
and although I want to tear her out,
throw her out,
and forget her,
I just remember her more.
Drizzle!
Sad and alone, down the sidewalk
goes my heart, stricken
with the sadness of a condemned building,
feeling your frostiness
because that girl, when she forgot me,
tore open a hole where the rain gets in.
Lost!
Like a specter in the shadows
that searches for her still and calls out her name…
drizzle…sadness…
even the sky has started to cry!
