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.

Fluïu, llagrimes meves

(Sung text translation for setting by G. Jacob)

See original

Language: Catalan (Català) after the English

Fluïu, llàgrimes meves, brolleu de les vostres deus!
Exiliat per sempre, deixeu que em dolgui;
allà on el negre ocell de la nit canta la seva trista infàmia,
deixeu que hi visqui oblidat.

 ... 

Des de la més alta torre de l'alegria
la meva fortuna s'hi ha llançat;
i la por, la pena i el dolor pels meus mèrits
són les meves esperances, perquè l'esperança ha marxat.

Escolteu! Vosaltres ombres que en la foscor habiteu,
apreneu a menysprear la llum.
Feliços, feliços aquells que a l'infern
no senten la malícia del món.
