Entre suspiro y suspiro [English translation]

Between sigh and sigh

I don't find oblivion,

love is killing me

because an ungrateful perjurer,

that tortures my soul,

hurts me with her disdain.

Between sob and sob

I have no rest,

and I cry and sing, at the same time,

because by singing I alleviate

the hard punishment

that God wanted to impose on me.

Why dear God, so good,

being just and serene

sends me such a punishment?

Why did He choose, for me, this fate,

and sentence me to death

just for loving her like this?
