by Fernando Periquet (1873 - 1940)
La maja dolorosa No. 1
Language: Spanish (Español)
¡Oh muerte cruel! ¿Por qué tú, a traición, mi majo arrebataste a mi pasión? ¡No quiero vivir sin él, porque es morir, porque es morir así vivir! No es posible ya sentir más dolor: en lágrimas deshecha ya mi alma está. ¡Oh Dios, torna mi amor, porque es morir, porque es morir así vivir!
