by Ramòn Maria de las Mercedes de Campoamor y Campoosorio (1817 - 1901)

Ay, del ay! Ay, del ay!
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Ay, del ay! Ay, del ay!
Cuan honda oh cielos será
dije mi tumba mirando
que vá tragando tragando
cuanto nació y nacerá

Ay, del ay! Ay, del ay!
Y huyendo del vil rincón
donde al fin seré arrojado
los ojos meti es pantado
dentro de mi corazón

Ay, del ay! Ay, del ay!
Más cuando dentro miré
Ay, del ay! Ay, del ay!
Mis ojos en él no hallaron
Ni un ser de los que me amaron
Ni un ser de los que yo amé

Ay, del ay! Ay, del ay!
Ay, del ay! Ay, del ay!

Si no hallo aqui una ilusion
Y alli sola hallo el vacio
cual es más hondo Dios mio
mi tumba o mi corazón

Ay, del ay! Ay, del ay!
