La rosa enflorence

Language: Spanish (Español)

Our translations: ENG

La rose enflorence, en el mez de mai
Mi alma s'escurece sufriendo del amor.
Los biblico cantan, sospiran del amor,
y la pasión me mata, muchigua mi dolor.
Más presto ven, Palomba, más presto ven a mí,
más presto tú, mi alma, que yo me vo morir.

The rose blooms

Language: English after the Spanish (Español)

The rose blooms, in the month of May
My soul darkens, suffering from love.
The nightingales sing, waiting for love,
and my passion slowly extinguishes, intensifying my pain.
Come faster, Palomba, come faster to me,
Faster, my soul, I’m dying.

Translator's notes:
Line 1, word 8 ("month"): the word "mez" survives in modern Portuguese, but not in modern Spanish
Line 5, word 3 ("Palomba") literally means "dove".
