Es un sueño la vida
Language: Spanish (Español)
Available translation(s): ENG
Es un sueño la vida,
pero un sueño febril que dura un punto;
Cuando de él se despierta,
se ve que todo es vanidad y humo...
¡Ojalá fuera un sueño
muy largo y muy profundo,
un sueño que durara hasta la muerte!...
Yo soñaría con mi amor y el tuyo.

Life is a dream
Language: English  after the Spanish (Español)
Life is a dream,
but a feverish dream that lasts an instant;
when one wakes up from it,
it is clear that all is smoke and mirrors...
If the dream
was very long and very profound,
a dream that lasted until death!...
I would dream with my love and yours.
