Desdeñosa [English translation]

Although my life be full of darkness

I don't need to love, no I don't.

I know that to love is a sorrow,

And that a sorrow caused by love is infinite.

I don't need to love - I am ashamed

to love again what I have loved.

Any repetition is an offense

And any suppression is an omission.

Disdainful, like the gods,

I shall continue to fight for my destiny

Without listening to the terrified voices

Of those poisoned by death1.

I don't need to love - it would be absurd

I shall repeat the sermon on the mount

So as to last until all the immortal hatred

Which accompanies me dies.

1. I think this is a figurative use of envenenados such that the meaning of the line is "of those whose minds have been warped by the fear of death"
