En este mundo inquieto, moderno, apresurado,
tomamos todo aquello que nuestro corazón deseaba -tú y yo,
y ahora las velas blancas de nuestro barco están arriadas
y agotada la carga del navío.
Por ello, prematuras, empalidecen mis mejillas,
pues el llorar es mi contento huido
y el dolor ha apagado el rosa de mi boca
y la ruina corre las cortinas de mi lecho.
Pero toda esta vida atiborrada ha sido para ti
solamente una lira, un laúd, el encanto sutil
del violoncello, la música del mar
que duerme, mímico eco, en su concha marina.
MY VOICE
WITHIN this restless, hurried, modern world
We took our hearts' full pleasure--You and I,
And now the white sails of our ship are furled,
And spent the lading of our argosy.
Wherefore my cheeks before their time are wan,
For very weeping is my gladness fled,
Sorrow hath paled my lip's vermilion,
And Ruin draws the curtains of my bed.
But all this crowded life has been to thee
No more than lyre, or lute, or subtle spell
Of viols, or the music of the sea
That sleeps, a mimic echo, in the shell.
We took our hearts' full pleasure--You and I,

And spent the lading of our argosy.

For very weeping is my gladness fled,

And Ruin draws the curtains of my bed.
But all this crowded life has been to thee
No more than lyre, or lute, or subtle spell
Of viols, or the music of the sea
That sleeps, a mimic echo, in the shell.
