Romeo and Juliet — Page 10

English → Spanish ACT I Level 9/10

The earth hath swallowed all my hopes but she,

La tierra ha tragado todas mis esperanzas menos ella,

She is the hopeful lady of my earth:

Ella es la esperanzadora señora de mi tierra:

But woo her, gentle Paris, get her heart,

Pero cortéjala, gentil Paris, gánate su corazón,

My will to her consent is but a part;

Mi voluntad ante su consentimiento no es más que una parte;

And she agree, within her scope of choice

Y si ella consiente, dentro de su ámbito de elección

Lies my consent and fair according voice.

Yace mi consentimiento y mi voz justa y acorde.

This night I hold an old accustom'd feast,

Esta noche celebro un antiguo banquete acostumbrado,

Whereto I have invited many a guest,

Al que he invitado a muchos huéspedes,

Such as I love, and you among the store,

A quienes quiero, y vos entre ellos,

One more, most welcome, makes my number more.

Uno más, muy bienvenido, aumenta mi número.

At my poor house look to behold this night

En mi humilde casa esperad ver esta noche

Earth-treading stars that make dark heaven light:

Estrellas que pisan la tierra y hacen brillar el oscuro cielo:

Such comfort as do lusty young men feel

Tal consuelo como el que sienten los vigorosos jóvenes

When well apparell'd April on the heel

Cuando el bien ataviado abril pisando los talones

Of limping winter treads, even such delight

Del invierno cojo avanza, ese mismo deleite

Among fresh female buds shall you this night

Entre los frescos capullos femeninos habréis de hallar esta noche

Inherit at my house.

En mi casa.

Hear all, all see,

Escuchad a todas, ved a todas,

And like her most whose merit most shall be:

Y prefered a aquella cuyo mérito sea mayor:

Which, on more view of many, mine, being one,

La cual, vista entre muchas, la mía, siendo una,

May stand in number, though in reckoning none.

Puede figurar en número, aunque en estima ninguna.

Come, go with me.

Venid, acompañadme.

Go, sirrah, trudge about

Ve, muchacho, camina por

Through fair Verona; find those persons out

La hermosa Verona; encuentra a esas personas

Whose names are written there, [_gives a paper_] and to them say,

Cuyos nombres están escritos allí, [_entrega un papel_] y diles,

My house and welcome on their pleasure stay.

Que mi casa y bienvenida aguardan su placer.

[_Salen Capuleto y Paris._]

SERVANT.

CRIADO.
