Un eterno amanecer

Language: Spanish (Español)

Our translations: ENG ITA

¡Buenos días, amada hermana mía! 
Con dorados rayos el Sol naciente 
la noche oscura caza y hace el día:

¡El astro rey te invita a ser consciente!
 Hay un eterno amanecer que espera, 
que es tuyo, todo tuyo, en tu simiente.

Si en tu psique eliminas la quimera, 
y del andar los pasos no demoras, 
alcanzarás dichosa primavera.

Aprovecha el Sol y sus dulces horas, 
oh, amada hermana de amor gestada, 
y como las flores verás que afloras.

Y si anhelas la flamígera espada,
 y recuperar del Ser la memoria, 
dirígete a oriente en corcel montada:

¡De gloria en gloria, hermana, a la victoria!

An Everlasting Dawn

Language: English after the Spanish (Español)

Good morning, beloved sister mine!
 With golden rays the nascent Sun 
hunts the dark night and makes day:

The sky’s king invites you to be conscious! 
There’s an everlasting dawn awaiting,
 which is yours, all yours, in your seed.

If your psyche’s chimera you eliminate, 
and your going footsteps don’t delay, 
you’ll reach blessed Spring.

Make use of the Sun and his sweet hours, 
oh, beloved sister of love gestated, 
and like the flowers you shall bloom.

And if you yearn for the blazing sword, 
and to recover the memory of the Being, 
head to the Orient on mounted steed:

From glory to glory, sister, to victory!
