by
John Dryden (1631 - 1700)
I see, she flies me
Language: English
Available translation(s): SPA
I see she flies me ev'rywhere,
Her eyes her scorn discover;
But what's her scorn or my despair,
Since 'tis my fate to love her.
Were she but kind whom I adore,
I might live longer, but not love her more.

Lo veo, ella huye de mí
Language: Spanish (Español)  after the English
Lo veo, ella huye de mí en todas partes,
Sus ojos revelan su desprecio,
¿Pero qué es su desdén o mi desesperanza,
cuando mi destino es amarla?
Bastaría con que fuera más compasiva quien adoro
Y yo viviría más tiempo, pero no podría amarla más.
