Nunca fue pena mayor
Language: Spanish (Español)
Nunca fue pena mayor
Nin tormento tan estraño,
Que iguale con el dolor
Que resçibo del engaño.
Y este conocimiento
Haze mis días tan tristes,
En pensar el pensamiento
Que por amores me distes,
Me haze aver por mejor
La muerte, y por menor daño,
Que el tormento y el dolor
Que resçibo del engaño.

Never was there greater pain
Language: English after the Spanish (Español)
Never was there greater pain
Nor torment so terrible
To equal the pain
That I receive from this deception.
The recognition of this
Makes my days so sad
Reflecting on the thoughts
Of love that you gave me
Better that I should have
Death, and less hurt,
Than the torment and pain
That I receive from this deception.
