Anna-Maria’s Aria: “¿Qué Pasó?”
¿Qué pasó? ¿Qué pasó? [What happened? What happened?]
¿Ahora que hago? [Now what do I do?]
Ah no, no, no! [Oh no, no, no!]
No puede estar pasando. [This is cannot be happening.]
.
¿Dónde estás? [Where are you?]
¿A dónde vas? [Where are you going?]
Insensiblemente me dejas acá… [Callously you leave me here…]
me pregunto, señor Don Carlos, [I wonder, señor Don Carlos,]
¿por qué me abandonaste? [why do you abandon me?]
¿No sé cómo curarme, mi corazón, [I don’t know how to heal myself, my heart,]
mi roto corazón, mi corazón. [my broken heart, my heart.]
.
¡Mírame! Escúchame! [Look at me! Listen to me!]
Busco la respuesta. [I’m searching for the answer.]
Pero no comprendo, [But I don’t understand,]
lo que está pasando. [what is happening.]
.
Esos sentimientos son dentro de mí, [These feelings are always inside of me,]
controlar mi cuerpo, infectar mi alma, [controlling my body, infecting my soul,]
Oh Don Carlos! Oh Don Carlos! [Oh Don Carlos! Oh Don Carlos!]
Desesperadamente, [Desperately,]
clamaré…ah…mi…corazón, [I cry out…oh…my…heart,]
mi corazón, mi roto corazón, corazón. [my heart, my broken heart.]
