It's only right
- It's only right
- I'll perish for a lady
- from Elvas who numbs me
- like physician's herbs.
- Seeing her fair chest,
- I whisper to her servants:
- My pain's beyond all pain,
- she wants me gone, I'm sure;
- but since I'm bound to die,
- I'm glad I'll die for her.
[English version by Adam Mahler]
