[Words by Delgado Josè Espronceda 1808-1842]



Y encontrè mi illusion desvanecida

Y eterno e insaciable mi deseo:

Palpè la realidad y odiè la vida.

Solo en la paz de los sepulcros creo.



"And I found my hope had vanished by now

And eternal and insatiable was my desire:

I felt reality and hated life.

I believe only in the peace of sepulchres."
