8. La maja de Goya
Spanish source:
Fernando Periquet
de Goya la imagen gallarda y querida.
No hay hembra ni maja o señora
que a Goya no eche de menos ahora.
So yo hallara quien me amara
como él me amó,
no envidiara ni anhelara más
venturas ni dichas yo.
Goya's Maja
English translation ©
Theano Papadaki
The distinguished and beloved image of Goya.
There is not a woman,
A Maja or a lady
Who does not miss Goya now.
If I found someone who would love me
As he loved me,
I should not covet, no, nor desire
A better luck or happiness.
