Translation

Nunca acuerdas gentil Bayamesa

Never do you remember, gentle Bayamesa

que tú fuiste mi sol de tu fuente

that you were my sun from your source

y risueño en tu lágida frente

and, smiling, on your languid forehead

blando beso imprimí con arduo

I pressed a tender kiss with ardor

no recuerdas que en un tiempo dichoso

Do you not remember that in a blissful time

me extasié con tu pura belleza

I marveled at your pure beauty

y en tu seno doblé la cabeza

and in your bosom, I bowed my head

moribunda de dicha y de amor

dying from joy and love

ven y asoma

come and appear

ven y escucha amorosa mi canto

come and listen, loving, to my song

ven no duermas acude a mi llanto

come, do not sleep, hasten to my weeping

pon alivio ami negro dolor

bring relief to my dark pain

recordando las glorias pasadas

remembering past glories

disipemos muy bien las tristezas

let's dispel the sorrows very well

y doblemos las dos cabezas

and let's bow our two heads

moribuindas de dicha yde amor.

dying from joy and love.
