Romance Del Enamorado y La Muerte

I dreamed a dream last night
Little dream of my soul
I dreamed of my loves
That I held in my arms

I saw a lady enter
Very white
Whiter than the cold snow
How did you enter, my love
How did you enter my life

The doors are closed
Windows and shutters
I am not the loving love
I am death sent by God

Oh, death so strict
Let me live one day
One day cannot be
You have one hour of life

Quickly she put on her shoes
Even faster she dressed
She is going to the street
Where her love lived

Open the white door
Open the door, girl
How can I open it
If the time has not come

My father did not go to the palace
My mother is not asleep
If you don't open for me tonight
You won't open for me, my dear

Death is looking for me
Next to you, life would be
Go under my window
Where I worked and sewed

I will throw you a silk cord
So you can climb up
And if the thread is not enough
I would add my braids

The silk cord broke
Death was coming
Let's go, my love
The time has come
