plazer por dolores | |||

Donde es gradecido es dulce el morir | Donde es gradecido | ||
es dulce el morir; | |||
bivir en olvido, | |||
aquel no es vivir; | |||
mejor es sufrir | |||
passión y dolores | |||
que estar sin amores | |||
Es vida perdida | |||
bivir sin amar | |||

Amor que no pena | |||

<poem> | |||
It is better to exchange | |||
pleasure for pain | |||
than to live without love. | |||
If you are thankful | |||
it is sweet to die, | |||
to live in oblivion | |||
is not to live at all | |||
It is better to endure | |||
passion and pain | |||
than to live without love. | |||
It is a wasted life | |||
to live without love | |||
it is a better living | |||
to know how to use it | |||
It is better to grieve | |||
suffering pain | |||
than to live without love. | |||
Death is victory | |||
where affliction lives | |||
hoping for glory | |||
whoever suffers passion. | |||
It is better to have the pressure | |||
of those pains | |||
than to live without love. | |||
Whoever grieves the most | |||
enjoys love the most | |||
since much care | |||
takes fear away; | |||
So it is better | |||
to love in pain | |||
than to live without love | |||
No one fears torment | |||
loving with faith | |||
if his thinking | |||
had no cause; | |||
having a reason why | |||
it is better to suffer pain | |||
than to live without love. | |||
Love that has no pain | |||
should not claim for pleasure | |||
Since it is condemned | |||
by its little loving | |||
It is better to lose | |||
pleasure for pain | |||
than to live without love. | |||

Spanish text
Más vale trocar
plazer por dolores
que estar sin amores.
Donde es gradecido
es dulce el morir;
bivir en olvido,
aquel no es vivir;
mejor es sufrir
passión y dolores
que estar sin amores
Es vida perdida
bivir sin amar
y mas es que vida
saberla emplear;
mejor es penar
sufriendo dolores
que estar sin amores.
La muerte es vitoria
do bive aficion
que espera aver gloria
quien sufre passion;
mas vale presion
de tales dolores
que estar sin amores.
El ques mas penado
mas goza de amor
quel mucho cuydado
le quita el temor:
asís ques mejor
amar con dolores
que estar sin amores.
No teme tormento
quien ama con fe,
si su pensamiento
sin causa no fue;
aviendo por que
mas valen dolores
que estar sin amores.
Amor que no pena
no pida placer
pues ya le condena
su poco querer;
mejor es perder
plazer por dolores
que estar sin amores.
English translation
It is better to exchange
pleasure for pain
than to live without love.
If you are thankful
it is sweet to die,
to live in oblivion
is not to live at all
It is better to endure
passion and pain
than to live without love.
It is a wasted life
to live without love
it is a better living
to know how to use it
It is better to grieve
suffering pain
than to live without love.
Death is victory
where affliction lives
hoping for glory
whoever suffers passion.
It is better to have the pressure
of those pains
than to live without love.
Whoever grieves the most
enjoys love the most
since much care
takes fear away;
So it is better
to love in pain
than to live without love
No one fears torment
loving with faith
if his thinking
had no cause;
having a reason why
it is better to suffer pain
than to live without love.
Love that has no pain
should not claim for pleasure
Since it is condemned
by its little loving
It is better to lose
pleasure for pain
than to live without love.
