Sweet Favors

Dulces favores

I loved, wanted, cherished gentle strictnessamé, quise, estimé mansos rigores
I served, suffered, waited for crazy worriesserví, sufrí, esperé locos desvelos
I showed, said, wrote crazy lovesmostré, dije, escribí locos amores
I felt, cried, feared tyrant jealousysentí, lloré, temí tiranos celos
I enjoyed, had, achieved sweet favorsgocé, tuve, alcancé dulces favores
I left, lost, forgot vain suspicionsdejé, perdí, olvidé vanos recelos
Witnesses were of my glorytestigos fueron de la gloria mía
Silent the night and the day the heraldmuda la noche y pregonero el día

Have you not seen provident and officiousno has visto providente y oficiosa
move the air illuminated beemover el aire iluminada abeja
that even to drink the purple of the roseque hasta beber la púrpura la rosa
approaches cowardly and then retreatsya se acerca cobarde y ya se aleja
Have you not seen enamored butterflyno has visto enamorada mariposa
encircle the light until it leavesdar cercos a la luz hasta que deja
the easy monument embraced with iridescent wingsel monumento fácil abrazadas las alas de color tornasoladas

So my cowardly love many daysasí mi amor cobarde muchos días
turned to the rose and the flametorno se hizo a la rosa y a la llama
fear that has been among cold ashestemor que ha sido entre cenizas frías
so many times cried by the one who lovestantas veces llorado de quien ama
but love that conquers with stubbornnesspero el amor que vence con porfías
and the calling that with excuses callsy la cocación que con disculpas llama
inspired me and bee and butterflyme animaron y abeja y mariposa
I burned my wings and reached the rosequemé las alas y llegué a la rosa

I enjoyed, had, achieved sweet favorsgocé, tuve, alcancé dulces favores
I left, lost, forgot vain suspicionsdejé, perdí, olvidé vanos recelos
Witnesses were of my glorytestigos fueron de la gloria mia
Silent the night and the day the herald.muda la noche y pregonero el día.
