isaac albéniz - the retreat lyrics

Loading...

i live no more in the outer world; for me
the rose is faded and the wine+cup dry;
not that i fall to vainer apathy
nor sated with false pleasure, vainly sigh

but having proved the world in all its ways
with sense, with dignity, nor fond nor mad
i find not there a single thing to praise
no, nor a single thing to make me glad

a staggering drunken animal i see
careering o’er bare mountains and bare plains
intent upon its own absurdity
and loving pleasure only for its pains;

that is the world, ah, friend, let us retire
in to the sp+cious chamber of our mind
to sit and talk before the cosy fire
and listen to the winter, wailing wind!
