El Vitral
Andrés Cepeda
The Stained Glass
Your image is guarded jealously
By the smooth walls that own the glass
They stitch soft colors
Its warm atmosphere with colonial light
Filled with eager dreams
My eyes search for you through the window
Just answer my longing
Clear in its flight, the fragile stained glass
I cross its transparent heart
A sober path toward love
I follow its fate because that’s how
I’ll reach you
Like the free and faint light
So the verse can pass through the glass
Through the stained glass
And I’ll make love
Every noon in April
To flaunt the sun’s virtue
Through the stained glass (through the stained glass)
I cross its transparent heart
A sober path toward love
I follow its fate because that’s how
I’ll reach you
Like the free and faint light
To paint its virtue
Through the stained glass
And I’ll make love
Every noon in April
So the verse can pass through the glass
Through the stained glass.
