Lamentaciones 1

J'ai appelé mes amants, Ils m'ont trompée ;Mes sacrificateurs et mes anciens Ont péri dans la villeEn cherchant de la nourriture Pour ranimer leur vie.

Dí voces á mis amadores, mas ellos me han engañado; mis sacerdotes y mis ancianos en la ciudad perecieron, buscando comida para sí con que entretener su vida.

I called for my lovers, but they deceived me: my priests and mine elders gave up the ghost in the city, while they sought their meat to relieve their souls.
