Rima XXXVIII

by Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer
translated by H. Landman


Sighs are air and go to the air!
Tears are water and go to the sea!
Tell me, woman, when love's forgotten
    do you know where it goes?
Los suspiros son aire y van al aire!
Las lágrimas son agua y van al mar!
Dime, mujer, cuando el amor se olvida
    ¿sabes tú adónde va?
