Oh, as I weep, my wife sleeps next to me,
All peaceful 'cuz she knows not what she means.
I cry for her, for me, for life ill-spent.
No mercy was taken on my lost part.
Justice was once the reign of my whole life.
Betrayed, it no longer trusts me at all.
I fell to wants with some unbridled lust...
Oh, why, dear Isabel, did you choose me?
Bewitched by her I lost my sense of sin,
Which made me a cuckold to my own self.
And now I'm wed to one I lost sight of
Mariana, love you I cannot do.
You remind me of pasts I wish to leave
I find no beauty in your mocking kiss...
Alas! The greatest wound a man can bear
Is always one nobody else can see.
