Olas dulces y suaves

Language: Spanish (Español)

Our translations: ENG ITA

Olas dulces y suaves, al cerrar 
los ojos, veo en mi corazón; 
la dulce sensación de amar 
invade el sentimiento y la razón.

Bello y musical viento armónico, 
si estoy atento, dentro, muy dentro 
escucho murmurar: sinfónico 
himno resonante de mi centro.

Hasta su origen sigo el murmuro; 
creo reconocer la voz del Ser 
al llegar a aquel lugar tan puro, 
aquél que al hombre hace ennoblecer.

Dulce imagen virginal sobre el mar 
de amor que eterno fluye en mi interior: 
Tu voluntad enséñame a escuchar,
muéstrame el camino al Creador,

de la Paz revélame la clave. 
Tu dorado brillo en cada hombre, 
en cada mujer, resplande

ciente y victorioso sea presente;
 tome vuelo mi vida en tu nombre, 
extendiendo las alas te alabe.

Sweet and soft waves

Language: English after the Spanish (Español)

Sweet and soft waves, as I close 
my eyes, I see in my heart;
 the sweet sensation of loving
 invades feeling and reason.

Beautiful and musical harmonic wind, 
if I’m attentive, inside, deep inside, 
I hear a murmur: my center’s
 resonant symphonic hymn.

Back to its origin I follow the murmur; 
I think I recognise the Being’s voice
 as I reach that purest place, 
which makes man noble.

Sweet virginal image over the sea 
of love that eternally flows within me: 
Your will teach me to listen to,
show me the path to the Creator,

reveal to me the key of Peace. 
Your golden glow in each man,
 in each woman, resplendent

and victorious may it be present; 
may my life take flight in your name, 
spreading its wings may it praise you.
