Even though my heart agrees, my body
Resists the bow that presses on
The fire of God burns itself in vain
And this Troy never fell
Stubborn gods! Your growing threat
Makes me grow old fast and laugh at those
Children who know nothing, but cannot
Make me accept that unrighteous covenant
Do not tempt me with immortal youth
Cruel God, even if you take from my kiss
Take away the lips of the beloved and let him die
But you cannot take away from my heart the shadow
O God of all machinations, you let me die
Even if you break the covenant so that generations of people
To mock the cowardice of God and let me live
That is, to put failure on the ledger of time
