Qu'es mi vida preguntays
Language: Spanish (Español)
Qu'es mi vida preguntays
Non vos lo quiero negar
Bien amar e lamentar
Es la vida que me days
Quien vos pudiera servir
Tam bien como yo he servido
Mi trabaxado vivir
Quien pudiera haver sofrido
Para que me preguntays
La pena que he de passar
Pues amar e lamentar
Es la vida que me days

What is my life, you ask?
Language: English after the Spanish (Español)
What is my life, you ask?
I cannot deny this to you,
Loving well and grieving
Is the life which you give me.
Who could serve you
As well as I have served?
Who could have endured
My troubled life?
Why do you ask me
Of the pain which I must suffer,
Since loving and lamenting
Is the life which you give me.
