Aztec Poems
I have no joy, I have no gladness,
The earth does not fill me.
I have suffered sorrows in the world.
The earth has only been lent to us,
Tomorrow, or the day after
The giver of life will beckon us to his home.
-------------------------------------------------
Is it true that we have come to live upon the earth?
Are we to live on earth forever?
Only a fleeting moment here!
Even the precious stones crumble,
Even gold cracks and breaks.
Even the shining feathers are torn.
Are we to live on earth forever?
Only a fleeting moment here!
--------------------------------------------------
Have you grown weary of your servants?
Are you angry with your servants?
O Giver of life?
