GRANDES COMEDIAS...

La canción de Baltasar recitada por Beatriz.




No suspiréis más, señoras, no suspiréis,
Los hombres siempre fueron embusteros,
Un pie en el mar y otro en la orilla,
Nunca constantes en nada.
No suspiréis y dejadlos ir,
Y sed felices y despreocupadas,
Convirtiendo todos vuestros lamentos
En alborozo tra la la...


"Hey nonny nonny" is a common refrain from many old folk songs (sort of a folk version of "tra la la") which can be used in many ways. In this context the song is telling the girls that men have always been inconstant deceivers, and not to sigh or sing, not to worry about the woes, the sadness, that this causes, but rather to let all that go, to forget about that and be merry. "Hey nonny nonny" in this context means being merry, being happy.

BALTHASAR
Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more,
Men were deceivers ever,
One foot in sea and one on shore,
To one thing constant never:
Then sigh not so, but let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into Hey nonny, nonny.
Sing no more ditties, sing no moe,
Of dumps so dull and heavy;
The fraud of men was ever so,
Since summer first was leafy:
Then sigh not so, but let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into Hey nonny, nonny.

Act II, Scene III
