Limosna de amores [English translation]

I should have been shattered, slitting my wrists

When before the sighs of my song

My wild flesh was frozen, suspended in air

By words I'd never heard before.

.

Just thinking of it gives me chills.

How blind I was!

When your eyes spoke to mine, saying:

Give me Alms of Love, Dolores,

Give it for charity;

Place flowers on my Cross, Dolores,

You'll receive your reward from God.

.

Don't deny me, my rough girl, what I thirst for

Grant the Samaritan's mercy on my bitterness of life

.

Have you no pity for my tears, Dolores?

Have you no pity for me?

Give me Alms of Love, my Dolores

Give it before I die.

I don't need your worthless riches

Nor do I want your beggar's vows

It's enough, too much, your river of tears,

Seeing you eaten by pain and regret.

.

But you, in your life,

Could never, ever know

I was already in the same agony

Of wanting you too.

Give me Alms of Love, Dolores,

Give it for charity;

Place flowers on my Cross, Dolores,

You'll receive your reward from God.

.

Don't deny me, my rough girl, what I thirst for

Grant the Samaritan's mercy on my bitterness of life

.

Have you no pity for my tears, Dolores?

Have you no pity for me?

Give me Alms of Love, my Dolores

Give it before I die.

Give me Alms of Love, Dolores,

Give it for charity;

Place flowers on my Cross, Dolores,

You'll receive your reward from God.

.

Don't deny me, my rough girl, what I thirst for

Grant the Samaritan's mercy on my bitterness of life

.

Have you no pity for my tears, Dolores?

Have you no pity for me?

Give me Alms of Love, my Dolores

Give it before I die.
