English translation:

They and We

The heroines of Spanish legends
Died for love,
Without reproach, without tears, without sobbing.
But we are childishly afraid of suffering
And know only how to cry in love.

The splendor of castles, the revelry of the hunt,
The trials of prison —
All these allure us, yet if asked, "Who are you?"
We wouldn’t shake off our drowsiness,
And could not answer who we are.

We are every book, every melody!
And so, at dawn,
Eve's childish sin makes no sense to us.
And so, like the Spanish maidens,
We do not perish in love upon the pyre.

Our thoughts — like lines of verse,
Our feelings — like wind in the night.
But when they ask, "Who are you?" —
We’ll vanish into shadows, without light, without dreams.

We wander in darkness, searching for light,
Hearing a distant call, but mute.
There are no heroines here, no pyre, no answer —
Only echoes in a desert of troubles.

We are every book, every melody!
And so, at dawn,
Eve's childish sin makes no sense to us.
And so, like the Spanish maidens,
We do not perish in love upon the pyre.

In splendid castles, in solitude,
We hide our dreams.
Our reflection — only a fleeting moment,
Do you see the flame? — it does not burn.

They are bold, defying the flames,
And we — like shadows at the sunset of day.
We do not burn, do not smolder on the pyre,
But only look far off, at their names.
