Emmez-moi - Charles Aznavour

El ayer lejano ya en cada amanecer, gozaba el despertar vivia sin contar

la horas que se van, tenia juventud

y ganas de cantar, el tiempo se llevo

los sueños que forjé en ruinas convirtió

las torres que elevé, negandome la luz y el fuego de mi ser, cegando sin piedad

la

hilusión que sembré.

En mi ayer la realidad me hacia malgastar

mi alegre juventud, estaba confundido

y hasta me creí que el ritmo del relog

era mas lento para mi, andaba sin volver la vista para atras, mi lema era vencer

y nunca claudicar, seguir los dictados

de mi corazón, mi sola voluntad primero y siempre yo.

El ayer lejano está y yo pienso que tal vez

no supe aprovechar el tiempo que se fue

los años que perdí mas hoy soledad solo

queda en mi, la llama del amor he visto consumir mi última amistad se niega a

proseguir, no por donde andar no tengo a donde ir, ni mano que estrechar,

ni puerta en que pedir.

Hoy todo terminó, que lejos queda ya la fé en el porvenir, y en la felicidad,

recuerdos del ayer, ardiente juventud que ya se fue.

The distant yesterday already at each dawn, I enjoyed waking up, I lived without counting

the hours that go by, she was young

and desire to sing, time took

the dreams I forged into ruins turned

the towers I raised, denying myself the light and fire of my being, mercilessly blinding

the

hilusion that I sowed.

In my yesterday, reality made me waste

my merry youth, i was confused

and I even believed that the rhythm of the clock

it was slower for me, I walked without looking back, my motto was to win

and never give up, follow the dictates

of my heart, my only will first and always me.

The distant yesterday is and I think that perhaps

I did not know how to take advantage of the time that was gone

the years that I lost but today loneliness alone

remains in me, the flame of love I have seen consume my last friendship refuses to

continue, no where to go I have nowhere to go, no hand to shake,

no door to ask.

Today everything is over, how far is faith in the future, and in happiness,

memories of yesterday, ardent youth that is gone.
