Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics
Many a weary night enduredMuchas noches de cansancio he soportado
Since the utter charm of joy has puredDesde que el encanto absoluto de la alegría se ha derramado
My unquiet dreams, my miseryMis sueños inquietos, mi miseria
How sweat if I could share with thee¡Qué dulce sería si pudiera compartir contigo!
Unable to endure it's smileIncapaz de soportar su sonrisa
Which kindly eased my sombre veilQue amablemente aliviaba mi velo sombrío
I frightened turned my burdened headAsustado, volví mi cabeza cargada
And hid in slumbers shade insteadY me escondí en la sombra del sueño en su lugar
But lifted from my mournful restPero fui levantado de mi descanso melancólico
Was I by thee nocturnal guestPor ti, huésped nocturno
When though did vow to suffocateCuando prometiste sofocar
My tranquil dreams in thrones bedMis sueños tranquilos en la cama de tronos
You spoke to me with loathed glowMe hablaste con un brillo detestable
And thus have though not kept thy vowY así no has cumplido tu promesa
For when thy shadow sprang on mePorque cuando tu sombra se proyectó sobre mí
I closed my eyes in ecstasyCerré los ojos extasiado
