Triste
Language: Spanish (Español)
Available translation(s): ENG
Yo también puedo tener
de afectos el alma llena,
Que donde vive una pena
puede brotar un placer.
Pues en todo hay, a mi ver,
Dulzura con esplendor:
El tigre tiene su amor,
Su cariño la paloma,
La rosa brinda su aroma
Y hasta el cardo tiene flor.

Sad
Language: English  after the Spanish (Español)
I, too, can have a soul full
of all manner of affections,
For wheresoever trouble lies,
pleasure may likewise sprout.
In my sight, in everything
there is sweetness and splendor combined.
The tiger has his love,
the dove her affection,
the rose wafts her perfumed aroma forth,
and even the lowly thistle has flowers.
