Yo esperaba un amor
Language: Spanish (Español)
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.

I waited for a love
Language: English after the Spanish (Español)
I waited for a love in my agony
which would uproot me from the uncertain path,
and upon looking me in the eyes the day arose
above my soul which was already stiff.
I no longer fear life nor death;
a divine ideal, a like yearning
confuses us in a tie eternal and strong.
Thus is the earth more radiant than the heavens.
