lyrics

¡Oh! si abriesen ya los cielos
Sus cerradas cataratas,
Ya en vez de agua aquí lloviesen
¡Pez, resina, azufre y brasas!

¡Oh! si se abriese la tierra,
Y escondiese en sus entrañas
Tanto Datán y Virón,
¡Tanto brujo y tanta maga!
¡Cuán cara eres de haber,
oh dulce España!

Aunque pensáis que me alegro,
Conmigo traigo el dolor.
Aunque mi rostro semeja
Que de mi alma se aleja
La pena, y libre la deja,
Sabed que es notorio error:
Conmigo traigo el dolor.

Cúmpleme disimular
Por acabar de acabar,
Y porque el mal, con callar,
Se hace mucho mayor,
Conmigo traigo el dolor. (X3)

Translation:

Oh, if only the heavens would open
Their sealed watery gates
And instead of rain let fall here
Pitch and resin, sulfur and flames!

Oh, if only the earth would open
To hide in its entrails
So many Datans and Abirams,
So many sorcerers and witches!
How dear you are to attain, o sweet Spain!

Although you think I’m happy,
I carry my pain inside.
Although my face shows
Grief leaving my soul
And setting it free, know
That it’s a clear mistake:
I carry my pain inside.

I must pretend
So, I can end my end,
And because silent woes
Grow apace,
I carry my pain inside.
