Flow, my tears

(Sung text for setting by G. Jacob)

See base text

Language: English

Our translations: CAT CHI SPA

Flow, my tears, fall from your springs!
Exiled for ever, let me mourn;
Where night's black bird her sad infamy sings,
There let me live forlorn.

 ... 

From the highest spire of contentment
My fortune is thrown;
And fear and grief and pain for my deserts
Are my hopes, since hope is gone.

Hark! you shadows that in darkness dwell,
Learn to contemn light
Happy, happy they that in hell
Feel not the world's despite.

Fluid, lágrimas mías, caed de vuestros manantiales!

(Sung text translation for setting by G. Jacob)

See original

Language: Spanish (Español) after the English

¡Fluid, lágrimas mías, caed de vuestros manantiales!
Exiliado por siempre dejadme penar.
Donde el nocturno pájaro negro su triste infamia canta;
Allí dejadme vivir desolado.

 ... 

Desde la más alta torre del regocijo
Mi fortuna es arrojada.
Y el miedo, y el dolor, y la pena espero por merecido;
Pues la esperanza se ha ido

¡Escuchad! Sombras que morad la oscuridad;
Aprended a desdeñar la luz.
¡Felices, felices aquellos que en el infierno 
No sienten los martirios terrenales!
