lyrics

Qué dulcemente suena
entre esos verdes sauces
-animada tiorba-
un ruiseñor, envidia de las aves.

How sweetly sings
among those green willows
a nightingale, a living theorbo, envy of the birds.

Sus quiebros son suspiros
y endechas sus compases,
que ya en su triste suerte,
sólo el alivio de la pena, cabe.

Its trills are sighs,
its measures are plaints,
for all its sad fate now allows it
is to ease its sorrow in lamenting.

No envidia su fortuna
pero siente el ultraje,
que armado de rigores
el torpe olvido a sus blasones hace.

It does not envy their fortune
but feels the outrage
that, armed with rigour,
dull oblivion is causing to its honour.

En el silencio mudo
pasó la mayor parte
del siglo de su vida,
que es de discretos el quejarse tarde.

It has spent most
of its long life
in mute silence,
for the timid leave their lamenting late.

Suspende el llanto triste,
Oh ruiseñor suave!
pues ves que los laureles
sólo se crían para los cobardes.


Cease your sad weeping, o gentle nightingale,
for laurels now are
grown only for cowards.
