Song for an Ugly Lady

Translate to English
Song for an Ugly Lady
  • Ugly lady, you've complained
  • that I never sing your praise,
  • so I've composed a new refrain
  • to sing your praise in my own way,
  • and this is what my song exclaims:
  • you're a crazy, old and ugly lady!
  • Ugly lady, since your desire
  • is that I praise you in my rhymes,
  • God forgive me, I will try
  • to sing your praise in my own way,
  • and this is what my song will cry:
  • you're a crazy, old and ugly lady!
  • Ugly lady, though I've sung
  • of all my loves, I never sang
  • a song for you, so now I'll sing,
  • singing your praise in my own way,
  • and this is what my song will say:
  • you're a crazy, old and ugly lady!
