Story behind the song
Composition is in Spanish. English translation of the poem follows:
Lyrics
The darkling swallows will come again Upon your balcony to hang their nests, And once more their wings brush your windows As they playfully call; But those that lingered in their flight Your beauty and my glandess to behold, The ones that learned our names: Those will come back no more! The entwining honeysuckle will come again Upon the walls of your garden to climb, And once more at evening, lovelier still, Their buds will open; But those that hung studded with dew, Whose drops we watched tremble And fall, like tears of the day: Those will come back no more! Upon your ears there will fall again The sound of burning words of love; Your heart then, from its slumber deep, Perhaps will wake; But mute, enraptured, kneeling, As God before His altar is adored, As I loved you....be not deceived: You will be loved no more!
