1. O darkness of the soul, be gentle with the first
The injustice of time and both were unjust

2. They slept in the field of worries, and
The world used to smile at them

3. Time has folded a sky that shone
For them before, in it the stars

4. The wine dried up, so in the cup is blood
And so is the world, wines then blood

5. They bowed their heads, and there appeared to them
Images of their happiness crowding

6. They regretted what their hands had reaped
Where regret will never benefit one day

7. They are like a lion crying desperately
And it is forbidden to oppress the oppressed

8. Tears are but a speaking tongue
Undertaking a heart that does not have mercy

9. Except that time is a sword whose edge
Cuts with definite inescapable destiny

10. I stood in the palace square, and I
Stood there long ago wronged

11. Sending tears down the cheek blood
And sorrow in its head pounding

12. She does not see her day of bliss, and
Happiness is veiled by thick clouds

13. So when the smiling dawn came to her
Its darkness was more intense than jet

14. And the flowers buzzed happily
She found in the flowers a kindling fire

15. She hears the army crying out to its Lord
There is no deaf or mute in the army

16. Every warrior sees the soul ransom
For a country whose protection he cherishes

17. And you see the enemies storming into havoc
And they all swore victory

18. Troops surged like foaming sea
Led by one who plunges into havoc

19. A lion who does not fear death, does
The bold vanguard fear death?

20. It is as if the land is an arena in which
Every living being rises avenging

21. The heel feared, and fear is but
A sword dripping with pain from it

22. It wavered between victory and capture, becoming
A specter from which speech is absent

23. She surrendered a confused heart
To doubt, from its claws she cannot be safe

24. She called on death and did not fear it, for
Every life ends in ruin

25. Antonius was a passionate youth
So love is gone and the lover died

26. He died while pains targeted him
And sorrow toyed with him and consumed him

27. He died, grieved and suicidal
Angry, turning and regretting

28. He and the dagger in his entrails
A specter of despair overflowing with blood

29. The news of she who left him came to him
Alive, while the passion is living pleasantly

30. She did not die, but her death horrified her
While the passion is alive enjoying himself

31. Where are those who sacrificed their homelands for her
Regret did not bite their hearts

32. Crying out to love, caring for nothing but
His covenant, that wicked sinner

33. Rome is a tyrant, forgetting
That the pillar of truth does not crumble

34. How can the goddess of beauty live when
He who she clung to died

35. Her supporters betrayed her in her plight
An example of treachery, oh woe to them

36. There is no sincere loyal one among people
If the world dies, it is them

37. Oh Cleopatra, your dreams and hopes vanished today
And nations disappeared

38. You in the palace are a fleeting specter
And it in the eye is scary and dark

39. You and the hungry snake are hissing
A living snake it hisses to

40. Do not think there is in your beauty what
Would make the lion prostrate seeking mercy

41. Octavian is bold and capable
To him belongs the Nile and Egypt is booty

42. The beauty of fornication is transient
The beauty of chastity does not cease

43. The beginning of life is our nothingness
And the end of life is our nothingness
