La maja de Goya

Language: Spanish (Español)

Our translations: ENG FRE

Yo no olvidaré en mi vida
de Goya la imagen gallarda y querida.
No hay hembra ni maja o señora
que a Goya no eche de menos ahora.

So yo hallara quien me amara
como él me amó,
no envidiara ni anhelara más
venturas ni dichas yo.

La femme de Goya

Language: French (Français) after the Spanish (Español)

Je n'oublierai pas de toute ma vie
L'image belle et chérie de Goya.
Il n'y a pas de femme, servante ou maîtresse,
Qui ne regretterait Goya maintenant.

Si je trouvais quelqu'un qui m'aime
Comme il m'a aimée,
Je n'envierais ni me languirais de plus
D'aventures ni de bonheur.
