Maritornes [English translation]

For your love I'd shrink the night

To your bed's size

And I'd buy your caresses

paying for my freedom with kisses

For your love, I'd lose my pride

In my soul's backroom

And I'd sate my thirst for vengeance

In your mouth like a madman

Because I fear, my love, when I touch you

That I'll wake and not hear your voice

And when dawn comes to your window

I'll open my eyes and be by myself

For your love, I'd steal a star

To guard you at night

And on the road, I'd beg my sword

To make me worthy of you

I want to lose myself in the hounds of your lips

Torment is your honey mouth

I caged my soul in your beautiful armour

Forged with your body and skin

Seeing himself lost in such thoughts

Don Quixote couldn't believe

That the recipient of such praise

Was not whom he believed to see

T'was Maritornes, the Asturian maid

Blind in one eye and the other following

Who seeking to meet his arriero* lover

Stumbled upon him
