Renunciación [English translation]

I don't want to see you cry,

nor do I want to see that sorrow

gets into your heart

through the fault of my love1.

I don't want to see you suffer,

I am not capable of offending2 you

If you know that I have sworn

to be solely yours until death.

If you found no tenderness in my soul,

if I cause you only sorrow,

I will go, my life, from your presence

although it hurts in my heart.

Always I was what I am,

never did I tell you lies

and I laid my life at your feet

without any conditions.

If it is your wish, my love,

I shall depart from you for ever

leaving a kiss on your forehead

as a last blessing.

There are no reproaches on my part,

all that matters to me is that you be happy,

now you see that I gave you all of my life,

my poor life which is for you.

1. or "will" or "desire", but in context I think "love" is probably what is intended2. or, if this is old enough, "hurting"
