Me prometes, vida mía, que nuestro amor

(Sung text translation for setting by C. Orff)

See original

Language: Spanish (Español) after the Latin

Me prometes, vida mía, que nuestro amor
será feliz y perpetuo. 
Duerme, duerme, duerme todavía.
Grandes dioses, haced que lo diga sinceramente 
y que mantenga su promesa
para que podamos tener por toda la vida 
el imperecedero lazo de un amor santo.
Duerme, duerme, duerme todavía.
