Las tierras corrí
Language: Spanish (Español)
Las tierras corrí, los mares pasé, ventura busqué, no la may para mí: todos cuantos ví salen con ventura, para mí ninguna. Ventura buscaba, fortuna tenia, razon la pedia, amor la negaba: mi fe firme estaba, mas no mi ventura, pues no veo ninguna. La pena sufria por mi pasatiempo; pensaba que un tiempo tras otro venia: la ventura mia trocóse en fortuna, para mí ninguna.

Ich fuhr über Meer
NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Spanish (Español)
Ich fuhr über Meer, Ich zog über Land, Das Glück das fand Ich nimmermehr. Die Andern umher Wie jubelten sie! Und ich jubelte nie! Nach Glück ich jagte, An Leiden krankt' ich; Als Recht verlangt' ich Was Liebe versagte. Ich hofft' und wagte -- Kein Glück mir gedieh, Und so schaut' ich es nie. Trug ohne Klage Die Leiden, die bösen, Und dacht', es lösen Sich ab die Tage. Die fröhlichen Tage Wie eilen sie! -- Ich ereilte sie nie!
