Come heavy sleep

(Sung text for setting by R. Johnson)

See base text

Language: English

Our translations: SPA

Come, heavy Sleep, the image of true Death,
And close up these my weary weeping eyes,
Whose spring of tears doth stop my vital breath,
And tears my heart with Sorrow's sigh-swoll'n cries.
Come and possess my tired through-worn soul,
That living dies till thou on me be stole.

Ven, Sueño pesado

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Johnson)

See original

Language: Spanish (Español) after the English

Ven, Sueño pesado, la imagen de la verdadera Muerte, 
Y cierra estos ojos míos, cansados y sollozantes,
Cuyo manantial de lágrimas detiene mi respiración vital,
Y rasga mi corazón con los lamentos suspirantes de la pena.
Ven y apodérate de mi alma cansada y desgastada,
Que viviendo, muere hasta que tú me la robes.
