Compassion
Because I have loved so deeply
Because I haved loved so long
God in his great compassion
Gave me the gift of song
Because I have loved so vainly
Sung with such faltering breath
Oh, oh, oh, the Master in
His infinite mercy
Offers the boon of death
Compasión
Porque he amado tan profundamente
Porque he amado tanto tiempo
Dios en su gran compasión
Me dio el regalo de la canción
Porque he amado tan vanamente
Cantada con tal aliento vacilante
Oh, oh, oh, el Maestro en
Su infinita misericordia
Ofrece la bendición de la muerte
