TO THE LYRE	A LA LIRA

Of Atreus' sons,	¡De los hijos de Atreo,
And of Cadmus I wish to sing!	De Cadmo quiero cantar!
But my strings sound out	Pero mis cuerdas producen
only love in their tones.	Tan sólo sonidos de amor.

I have changed the strings,	Le he cambiado las cuerdas
and I would even switch lyres!	¡La Lira querría cambiar!
Alcides' victory march	¡El desfile victorioso de Alcides
should roar forth in its might!	Debería pregonar su poder!

Yet even these new strings sound out	Pero estas cuerdas producen
only love in their tones!	Tan sólo sonidos de amor.

So be well, then, heroes!	¡Hasta pronto, pues, héroes!
For my strings will sound out,	Ya que mis cuerdas producen,
instead of suspenseful, heroic song,	En vez de amenazas de cantos heroicos,
only love in their tones.	Tan sólo sonidos de amor
