Ya que este mundo abandono

Language: Spanish (Español)

Our translations: ENG FRE GER

Ya que este mundo abandono,
Ántes de dar cuenta á Dios,
Aquí para entre los dos,
Mi confesion te diré:
-- Con toda el alma perdono
Hasta á los que siempre he odiado;
¡Á tí, que tanto te he amado,
Nunca te perdonaré!

Da ich aus dieser Welt nun werde gehen

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Spanish (Español)

Da ich aus dieser Welt nun werde gehen,
möcht ich, bevor ich mich vor Gott erkläre,
an diesem Ort, ganz unter uns 
dir beichtend dies gestehen:
Aus tiefstem Herzen sei gar jenen
vergeben, die ich stets gehasst.
Doch dir, die du mein Alles warst,
werd ich niemals vergeben.
