Canto Triste
(de Nezahualcoyotl)
Oye un canto en mi corazón:
me pongo a llorar,
me lleno de dolor:
nos vamos entre flores,
hemos de dejar esta Tierra:
¡estamos prestados unos a otros:
iremos a la casa del Sol!
¡Póngame yo un collar
de variadas flores:
en mis manos estén,
florezcan en mí guirnaldas.
Hemos de dejar esta Tierra:
estamos prestados unos a otros:
iremos a la casa del Sol!
Sad Song
(from Nezahualcoyotl)
Hear a song in my heart:
I start to cry,
I am filled with pain:
we go among flowers,
we must leave this Earth:
We are on loan to each other:
We will go to the house of the Sun!
I put a necklace on me
of various flowers:
They are in my hands,
May garlands bloom on me.
We must leave this Earth:
we are lent to each other:
We will go to the house of the Sun!
