What else?
:52:04
It was...
:52:07
a secret passion.
:52:10
I never told anyone.
:52:12
No one ever found out.
:52:15
Not even my daughters.
:52:16
Your daughters!
I've heard so much about them.

:52:19
- I'd like to meet them.
- Hush up!

:52:22
And this passion went sour,
if I get your meaning.

:52:27
My fiancé had a name
that was grating to the ear,

:52:32
An irritating name
that was more than I could bear.

:52:36
So I went and left him
without a word, without a sign.

:52:40
It's been 10 years now
That his path diverged from mine.

:52:45
I had told him
one night so tenderly

:52:49
That we were soon to be
no longer two but three.

:52:53
It's a woman's greatest claim,
It fills a man with pride.

:52:57
Booboo, the poor dear,
would soon be by my side.

:53:04
He was a handsome fellow
and I a sweet young thing,

:53:08
Even though I had twins
before I met him.

:53:12
He never met the girls,
I kept them out of sight.

:53:17
They went to boarding school
and never came home at night.

:53:21
A few years later,
through a mutual friend,

:53:25
I let him know
that some tycoon from Mexico

:53:29
Had offered me his hand
and a beachside bungalow.

:53:34
It was bitter lie,
pathetic duplicity.

:53:40
So here I am alone,
and my youth is long gone.

:53:45
I came to see this town
where the only love I'd known

:53:49
had seen the day.
I settled here permanently

:53:53
Iiving amid memories,
my life's debris.
