Tear

Full of aches
Full of aches I lay myself down
And with more aches
And with more aches I arise
In my chest
I have in my chest
This way of doing things
Of wanting you so much
 
Despair
I have for my despair
Inside me
Inside me the punishment
I do not want you
I say I do not want you
And at night
At night I dream of you.
 
If I consider
That one day I shall die
In despair
That I have to not see you
I extend my shawl
I extend my shawl on the floor
I extend my shawl
And succumb to sleep.
 
If I knew
If i knew that dying
You must for me
You must cry for me
For a tear
For one of your tears
What happiness
I would allow myself to die.

Last verse basically says

If I knew
If I knew that as I died
You should cry,
For a shed tear, then
For a shed tear of yours,
What a happiness!
I would allow myself to die

Nice translation but I think "penas" translates more accurately here as "regrets."
