Lyrics
Como aquel que en soñar gusto recibe
Su gusto procediendo de locura
Asà el imaginar con su figuravanamente
Su gozo en mà concibe
Otro bien en mÃ, triste, no se escribe
Si no es aquel que en mi pensar procura
De cuanto ha sido hecho en mi ventura
Lo sólo imaginado es lo que vive
Teme mi corazón de ir adelante
Viendo estar su dolor puesto en celada
Y asà revuelve atrás en un instante
A contemplar su gloria ya pasada
Oh sombra de remedio inconstante
Ser en mà lo mejor lo que no es nada
Like one receiving pleasure from a dream
His pleasure thus proceeding from delusion
So does imagination with illusions conceive in vain
Its happiness in me No other good’s inscribed on my sad heart
Except what in my thoughts I might procure
Of all the good I ever have endured
What lives is only the imagined part
My heart is frightened to proceed ahead
Seeing that its pain in ambush lies
And so after a moment it turns back
To contemplate those glories that have fled
Oh, shadow of relief, that fickle flies
To make what’s best in me, be what I lack
