Como son largas las semanas cuando no estas cerca de mi. No se que fuerzas sobrehumanas me dan valor lejos de ti. Muerta la luz de mi esperanza Soy como el naufrago en el mar, se que me pierdo en lontananza mas no me puedo resignar. Ah!… que triste es recordar, despues de tanto amar, esa dicha que paso, flor de una ilusion, nuestra pasion se marchito. Ah!… olvida mi desden, retorna, dulce bien, a nuestro amor, y volvera a florecer nuestro querer como aquella flor. En nuestro cuarto tibio y rosa todo esta igual, como otra vez y en cada adorno, en cada cosa te sigo viendo como ayer. Tu foto sobre la mesita que es credencial de nuestro amor y aquella hortensia ya marchita que fue el canto de mi dolor.

How long are the weeks when you are not close to me. I don’t know what superhuman strengths give me courage far away from you. The light of my hope having died, I am like the shipwrecked in the sea I know I get lost in the far horizon but I cannot resign myself. Oh! how sad it is to remember after having loved so much that happiness that went by flower of an illusion our passion has withered. Oh! forget my scorn, return, my sweet, to our love and it will bloom again our wanting like that flower. In our warm and rose colored room everything it’s the same as it was and in each ornament, in each thing I continue looking at you like I did yesterday. Your photo on the little table is a witness of our love and that already withered hydrangea which was the song of my pain.
