Soneto [English translation]

Why did you find me abandoned

With what torture did you force from me a kiss

Why did you burn me with desire

When I was well, dead asleep

With what lie did you reveal my secret

Of what old romance did you rob me

With what ray of light did you illuminate me

When I was well, dead scared

Why not leave me asleep

And show me the sea, with that ship

And leave me alone with that exit

Why have you come down to my dark basement

With what right have you taught me of life

When I was well, dead cold
