by Alonso de Cartagena (1384 - 1456)
Partir quiero yo
Language: Spanish (Español)
Partir quiero yo mas no del querer, que no puede ser. El triste que quiere partir y se va, adonde estuviere sin sí vivirá: mas no que pondrá en otra el querer, que no puede ser. De aqueste partir mi gloria procede: partiendo morir la vida bien puede, mas no que no quede con vos el querer, que no puede ser.
