"Because that blue
sky we all see, i's neither sky nor blue. What a great pity that so
much beauty not be true" Lupercio de Argensola (1559-1613) |
|||
Version en castellano | English translation | ||
No...
ni es cielo ni es azul, ni es cierto tu candor, ni al fin tu juventud. Tu compras el carmin y el pote de rubor que tiembla en tus mejillas, y ojeras con verdin para llenar de amor tu mascara de arcilla. Tu, que timida y fatal te arreglas el dolor después de sollozar, sabras como te ame, un día al despertar sin fe ni maquillaje... - Ya lista para el viaje que desciende hasta el color final - Mentiras... que son mentiras tu virtud, tu amor y tu bondad y al fin tu juventud. Mentiras... te maquillaste el corazón! Mentiras sin piedad... Que lastima de amor! |
No...
it's neither sky nor it's blue, nor it's certain your candor, nor your youth after all. You buy the carmine and the jar of color that trembles in your cheeks, and bags under your eyes with eyeshadow to fill with love your mask of clay. You, that timid and fatal fix up the pain after sobbing, will know how loved you, one day when waking up without faith nor make-up... - All set for the trip that descends until the final color - Lies... That are lies your virtue, your love and your goodness and at the end your youth. Lies... you made-up the heart! Lies without mercy... What a pity for love! |
