No tardes, muerte, que muero (Manrique, set by L. Sisk) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


 No tardes, muerte, que muero;
 ven, porque biva contigo;
 quiéreme, pues que te quiero,
 que con tu venida espero
 no tener guerra comigo.

 Remedio de alegre vida
 no lo ay por ningún medio,
 porque mi grave herida
 es de tal parte venida
 que eres tú solo remedio.

 Ven aquí, pues ya que muero;
 búscame, pues que te sigo; 
 quiéreme, pues que te quiero,
 y con tu venida espero
 no tener guerra comigo
