The texto of the piece is taken from W. Shakespeare’s Sonnet Nr. 146

Sonnet 146

Poor soul the centre of my sinful earth,
fool'd by these rebel powers that thee array,
Why dost thou pine within and suffer dearth
Painting thy outward walls so costly gay?


Why so large cost having so short a lease,
Dost thou upon thy fading mansion spend?
Shall worms inheritors of this excess,
Eat up thy charge? Is this thy body's end?


Then soul live thou upon thy servant's loss,
And let that pine to aggravate thy store;
Buy terms divine in selling hours of dross:
Within be fed, without be rich no more,

So shalt thou feed on Death, that feeds on men,
And Death once dead, there's no more dying then.



Soneto 146

Pobre alma, mi centro, de arcilla pecadora,
veleta de rebeldes poderes que te ocultan.
¿Por qué penas por dentro, y sufres carestía,
pintando tu fachada con adornos tan caros?


¿Por qué tanto derroche, para tan poco arriendo,
gastas en tu mansión, sabiendo que está en ruinas?
¿Sabes que los gusanos, de este exceso herederos,
comerán tus despojos? ¿Es el fin de tu cuerpo?


Entonces, vive alma, a expensas de tu esclavo,
y adquiere nuevos cielos, vendiendo horas de escoria,
enriquécete dentro y deja el exterior.


Así, comerás Muerte, la cual de hombres se nutre,
y si matas la Muerte, ya no existe el morir.
