If you realised,

that still inside my soul,

I uphold that affection

I had for you...

Who knows if you realised

that I haven't forgotten you ever,

when turning back to your past

if you think of me...

Friends no longer come

not even for a visit,

nobody wants to console me

in my affliction...

From the day you left

I feel anguish in my chest,

tell me, darling, "what have you done

to my poor heart?"

However,

I always remember you

with the devine affection

I had for you.

And you are everywhere,

part of my life,

and those eyes that were my joy

I look for them everywhere

and I can't find them.

In the abandoned flatlet

not even the morning sun

peeks through the window

as it did when you were here,

and that companion puppy,

that didn't eat in your absense,

upon seeing me alone the other day

it also left me.

Thanks! ❤

The lyrics have nothing to do with the title since they were added later to the well known melody

The last two lines of the first stanza are bad English, that word "if" needs to move up to the beginning of the first of these two lines if they are to be anything like normal English usage.

In the last stanza, maybe "now" could be added at the beginning of the second verse? It doesn't really matter, but would make the time contrast between this verse and teh 4th of the same staza a bit more obvious (as it is with "ya" in the Spanish text).
