About Amable O'Connor d'Arlach

Funeraria

When the sun sets, when the moaning

breeze talks to me of dying without glory,

in the twilight of my pain I light

my inseparable lamp,

alabaster lamp: your memory.

When I follow my tragic and defeated

caravan of wandering griefs

in my crystal soul I take up

my inseparable lamp,

alabaster lamp: your memory.

When the singing leaves breathe out

their song, fleeting as was your story,

drops of mourning well up and embed themselves

in my beloved lamp,

lamp of alabaster: your memory.

Only my withered betrothed,

death the redeemer,

will one day extinguish

the light of that lamp,

alabaster lamp: your memory.

Funeraria

Cuando se pone el sol, cuando gimiendo

me habla la brisa de morir sin gloria,

en la penumbra de mi pena enciendo

mi inseparable lámpara,

lámpara de alabastro: tu memoria.

Cuando sigo mi trágica y rendida

Caravana de duelos migratoria,

en mi alma de cristal llevo prendida

mi inseparable lámpara,

lámpara de alabastro: tu memoria

Cuando cantan las hojas que se arrastran

su aria fugaz, como lo fue tu historia,

brotan gotas de llanto que se engastan

en mi querida lámpara,

lámpara de alabastro: tu memoria

Solo la mustia prometida mía,

la muerte redentora,

ha de apagar un dia

la luz de aquella lámpara,

lámpara de alabastro: tu memoria
