Nadie puede ser dichoso

Language: Spanish

Nadie puede ser dichoso,
Señora, ni desdichado,
Sino que os haya mirado.

Porque la gloria de veros
En ese punto se quita
Que se piensa mereceros.

Así que, sin conoceros,
Nadie puede ser dichoso,
Señora, ni desdichado,
Sino que os haya mirado.

No one can be happy

Language: English

 No one can be happy,
 my lady, nor unhappy, 
 if he has not looked at you.
 
 For the joy to have seen you
 disappears as soon as 
 one believes to merit it.
 
 So that, without knowing you,
 no one can be happy, my lady,
 nor unhappy, 
 if he has not looked at you.
