| Peso Ancestral
Tú me dijiste: no lloró mi padre,; tu me dijiste: no lloró me abuelo,; no han llorado los hombres de mi raza, eran de acero. As’ diciendo te brotó una lágrima ye me cayó en la boca . . . ; más veneno yo no he bebido nunca en otro vaso asi pequeño. Débil mujer, pobre mujer que entiende, dolor de siglos conoc’ al beberlo. Oh, el alma mia soportar no puede todo su peso.

You said to me: “My father did not weep, Nor my grandfather weep.” I heard you say: “No man of all my race has ever wept,; of steel were they.” And thus upon my trembling mouth I felt The poison of your bitter teardrop fall, Worse potion than my lips have ever quaffed From a cup so small. Weak woman, born all grief to comprehend, I drank the pain of ages infinite; But oh, my wretched soul cannot support The weight of it!
