📌 pugliese! pugliese! pugliese!

One Time (1946)
Lyrics by Cátulo Castillo, trans. J. Osburn
Music by Osvaldo Pugliese
Time it was that her love called me to it,
Then stood at the abyss and fell into it,
She that I loved more than I cared for myself.
Icy light of her gaze, always, always freezing.
Disappointment of love on my tongue,
A love that wasn’t anything.
It’s a little thing, her scorn, that I’m
Unable to shake, once is all it takes, one time.

Then there was one called Renée,
Or maybe her name was Manón,
It doesn’t matter either way,
Manón or Renée, which one I can’t say…
There were many more, you see,
But they let me go, every one.
Just one bad love is what damaged me,
My lesson in losing was never believe.

That one time,
That time I took the honey of my love with wine,
Mixing her bitter honey in.
And a tender bud opened in the pain.
Beacon distant and steady
That no longer reaches me,
I cried out to yesterday,
To love, to love, to love, hopelessly.
That one time,
When she left me with a thorn
I can’t pull out, that’s all it took, her scorn.
