by María F. Morandeira (b. 1905)

Yo esperaba un amor
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Our translations:  ENG
Yo esperaba un amor en mi agonía
que me arrancara de la ruta incierta
y al mirarme en mis ojos surgió el día
sobre mi alma que ya estaba yerta.

Ya no temo a la vida ni a la muerte
un divino ideal, un mismo anhelo
nos confunde en un lazo eterno y fuerte.
La tierra así es más fúlgida que el cielo.
