[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."
