La maja dolorosa No. 2
Language: Spanish (Español)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE ITA
¡Ay majo de mi vida,
no, no, tú no has muerto!
¿Acaso yo existiese
si fuera eso cierto?
¡Quiero, loca, besar tu boca!
Quiero,
segura, gozar más de tu ventura,
¡ay!, de tu ventura.
Mas, ¡ay!, deliro, sueño:
mi majo no existe.
En torno mío el mundo
lloroso está y triste.
¡A mi duelo no hallo consuelo!
Mas muerto y frío siempre el majo será mío.
¡Ay! Siempre mío.

La femme affligée no. 2
Language: French (Français)  after the Spanish (Español)
Ah, homme de ma vie,
Non, non, tu n'es pas mort !
Comment exister
Si c'était certain ?
Je veux, follement, baiser ta bouche !
Je veux, vraiment, me délecter de ton aventure,
Ah ! avec toi !
Mais, hélas, je délire, je rêve :
Mon homme n'existe plus.
Autour de moi, le monde
Est en pleurs et est triste.
Pour mon chagrin il n'y a pas de consolation !
Mais mort et froid toujours mon homme sera mien.
Ah ! Toujours mien.
