Rossini: Canzonetta spagnuola "En medio a mis colores" |
En medio a mis colores, ay, |
pintando estaba un día, ay, |
cuando la musa mía, ay, |
me vino a tormentar, ay. |
Ay, con dolor pues dejo |
empresa tan feliz |
cual es de bellae Nice |
las prendas celebrar, ay. |
Quiso que yo pintase, ay, |
objeto sobrehumano, ay, |
pero lo quiso en vano, ay, |
lo tuvo que dejar, ay. |
Ay, con dolor pues dejo |
empresa tan feliz |
cual es de bellae Nice |
las prendas celebrar, ay. |
Conoce la hermosura, ay, |
un corazón vagado, ay, |
mas su destin malvado, ay, |
Ie impide de centar, ay. |
Ay, con dolor pues dejo |
empresa tan feliz |
cual es de bellae Nice |
las prendas celebrar, ay. |
Surrounded by my colours |
I was painting one day |
when my Muse |
came to torment me. |
With sadness then I left |
my happy task |
of celebrating the charms |
of the fair Nice. |
My Muse asked me to depict |
a more spiritual subject; |
but she asked in vain, |
for I could not do so. |
With sadness then I left |
my happy task |
of celebrating the charms |
of the fair Nice. |
An inconstant heart |
may know beauty, |
but its cruel destiny |
prevents it from singing. |
With sadness then I left |
my happy task |
of celebrating the charms |
of the fair Nice. |
