| From the beginning of my life
| Desde el principio de mi vida
|
| I have been looking
| He estado mirando
|
| for your face
| por tu cara
|
| but today
| pero hoy
|
| I have seen it
| Lo he visto
|
| Today I have seen
| Hoy he visto
|
| the charm,
| el encanto,
|
| the beauty,
| la belleza,
|
| and the unfathomable grace
| y la gracia insondable
|
| of the face that I have been looking for Today I have found you
| del rostro que he estado buscando hoy te he encontrado
|
| and those who laughed
| y los que se rieron
|
| and scorned me yesterday are sorry they were not looking as I did
| y me despreciaron ayer lamentan que no se vieran como yo
|
| I am bewildered by the magnificence of your beauty
| Estoy desconcertado por la magnificencia de tu belleza.
|
| and wish to see you with a hundred eyes
| y deseo verte con cien ojos
|
| My heart has burned with passion
| Mi corazón ha ardido de pasión
|
| and has searched forever for this wondrous beauty
| y ha buscado por siempre esta maravillosa belleza
|
| I now behold I am ashamed to call this love human
| Ahora veo que me avergüenzo de llamar humano a este amor
|
| and afraid of God to call it divine
| y miedo de Dios para llamarlo divino
|
| Your fragrant breath
| tu fragante aliento
|
| like the morning breeze has come to the stillness of the garden
| como la brisa de la mañana ha llegado a la quietud del jardín
|
| You have breathed new life into me
| Me has dado nueva vida
|
| I have become your sunshine and also your shadow
| Me he convertido en tu sol y también en tu sombra
|
| My soul is screaming in ecstacy
| Mi alma está gritando en éxtasis
|
| Every fiber of my being is in love with you
| Cada fibra de mi ser esta enamorada de ti
|
| Your effulgence has lit a fire in my heart
| Tu refulgencia ha encendido un fuego en mi corazón
|
| and you have made for me the earth and sky
| y me has hecho la tierra y el cielo
|
| My arrow of love has arrived at the target
| Mi flecha de amor ha llegado a la diana
|
| I am in the house of mercy
| Estoy en la casa de la misericordia
|
| and my heart is a place of prayer | y mi corazón es un lugar de oración |
