Sepulchres

(Words by Delgado Jos? Espronceda 1808-1842)

Y encontr? mi illusion desvanecida
Y eterno e insaciable mi deseo:
Palp? la realidad y odi? 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."
