Lyrics

Español

Quién sino tú ha podido mi mente turbar y ha sabido también despertar esta dulce ilusión, que hoy se ha echado a volar desde mi corazón transformada en cantar. Quién sino tú, ni las olas cambiantes del mar, ni la luna en su dulce brillar, ni la estrella al correr, ni la brisa al pasar. Si en infernales rayos la tierra ardiera o envuelta entre las sombras se estremeciera, la fe en mi Dios seguro no perdería sólo un desprecio tuyo la mataría. ¿Quién sino tú? ¿Quién sino tú? Quién sino tú, ni las olas cambiantes del mar, ni la luna en su dulce brillar, ni la estrella al correr, me han sabido inspirar. ¿Quién sino tú? ¿Quién sino tú?

English · machine translation

Who but you has been able to disturb my mind and has also known how to awaken this sweet illusion that today has taken flight from my heart transformed into song. Who but you, nor the changing waves of the sea, nor the moon in its sweet shining, nor the star as it runs, nor the breeze as it passes. If in infernal thunderbolts the earth should burn or wrapped in shadows should tremble, faith in my God would surely not lose only your contempt would kill it. Who but you? Who but you? Who but you, nor the changing waves of the sea, nor the moon in her sweet shining, nor the star in running, have been able to inspire me. Who but you? Who but you?
