by Francisco Rodríguez Marín (1855 - 1943)

Anhelos
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Our translations:  FRE
Agua quisiera ser, 
Luz y alma mía,
Que con su transparencia te brindara,
Porque tu dulce boca me gustara,
No apagara su sed:
La encendería.

Viento quisiera ser; 
En noche umbría
Callado hasta tu lecho penetrara,
Y aspirar por tus labios me dejara,
Y mi vida en la tuya infundiría.

Fuego quisiera ser
Para abrasarte
En un volcán de amor, 
¡Oh, estatua inerte,
Sorda a las quejas 
De quien supo amarte!

Y después para siempre poseerte,
Tierra quisiera ser 
Y disputarte celoso 
A la codicia de la muerte.
