Translation of the song Su última carta artist Unknown Artist (Spanish)

Pensando en la pasión que ya me abruma

Thinking of the passion that has already overwhelmed me,

Por más que a tantas tentaciones huyas,

no matter how many temptations one flees from,

Hoy fui al espejo, y me besé yo misma,

today I went to the mirror and kissed my reflection1

Haciendo el rostro de la imagen tuyo.

that I turned into your face.2

El cristal me ha mentido de tal suerte,

The glass has lied to me in such a way

Que vi en él su lindo rostro impreso,

that I saw his lovely face displayed there

Que caí desmayada, y quedé inerte,

and fainted, remaining motionless;

Creyendo tuyo mi solitario beso.

believing your kiss to be my last.

Y cuando la razón a me asombra

And when reason astonished me

Pensar, con insensato desvarío,

I thought with foolish delirium

Que si queman los besos de una sombra,

that if the kisses of a shadow burn me,

Tus besos matarán, amado mío.

then your kisses will kill me, my darling.

Y la terrible reflexión me aterra,

And a terrible reflection frightens me,

Aunque causa decírtelo sonrojos,

although I redden when I tell you

Pensando ser feliz sobre la tierra,

that at the thought of being happy on this earth

Rompí el cristal para buscar tus ojos.

I broke the glass so I could search for your gaze.3
