by Don Jíbaro... a heart-breaking translation

[Don Jibaro Barbanegra]

 

The Empty Bed Heart-breaking Translation by Don Jíbaro few years ago I was playing my guitar for my wife at home. I came upon this old tango my Dad used to quote... La Cama Vacía" (The Empty Bed). I remembered the lyrics and went on to sing it for her as I played. Half way through the song I began to weep. I didn't stop playing, and my singing became a cry of sadness. With tears in my eyes, I stopped and I told my wife that the words were too sad, so sad that I had the image flashing in my head while my heart was pounding in my chest. I was "living" the story... the empty bed... I was so brokenhearted that I had to translate into English and share it in my website. The sadness lies in the fact that the words of the song are true... so moving that you can't avoid "living" the story.
