Original in Spanish

Do not come,death,my sister,have pity on me,do not come yet…

Can’t you see that my heart is still empty?You must not silence its beating yetif the poor thing has no one to lovenor anyone to love it

Give me more time,death,be patient,let me live a little longerlet me feel love againlet me grow and bloom and bear fruit

Do not come yet,death,I am still afraid…
