Todos duermen, corazón

Language: Spanish

El dolor que habéis cobrado

que él corazón lastimado
recuérdalo la pasión.

All are sleeping, weary heart!

Language: English

All are sleeping, weary heart!
Thou, thou only sleepless art!
All this throbbing, all this aching,
Evermore shall keep thee waking,
For a heart in sorrow breaking
Thinketh ever of its smart!
