by Leopoldo Lugones Argüello (1874 - 1938)

Desdichas de mi pasión... (Tonada)
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Desdichas de mi pasión 
no tienen cuando acabar,
menos profundo es el mar
y en él no hay disminución.
  Marchitas flores
  son mis amores.
Y en la cadena de tus rigores,
llora cautivo mi [fiel] corazón.

Así como no es razón
querer reducir el mar,
no tienen cuando acabar
desdichas de mi pasión.
  Marchitas flores
  son mis amores.
Y en la cadena de tus rigores,
llora cautivo mi [fiel] corazon.

Y abriga vana ilusión
el que quiero comparar,
con la pequeñez del mar
lo inmenso de mi pasión.
  Marchitas flores
  son mis amores.
Y en la cadena de tus rigores.
Llora cautivo mi [fiel] corazón.
