Descanza En Paz

Maybe you were right
Maybe it was all a mistake
My heart buried me in loneliness
I lived for myself, lived without love
Fearful of the pain that lies within

I preferred to shut myself in
Excuse myself in writing
Disguise my world and not face it
I hid behind insurmountable walls

I resisted giving you my being
To take refuge in your arms
How selfish, mean, and vile
Now I can understand

When you have loved and died of love
There is always shelter in the soul
To forget and be able to forgive
To whom is everything to you

So much kindness shakes my soul
I made you suffer and you grant me forgiveness
Tell me woman, don't you crave revenge?
What strange impulse makes you feel this way

How to hate the one I have loved so much?
I am not capable, the affection I always felt

From the most remote place
The most forgotten antiquity
They spoke of him
The designs under the yoke of love

Nymphs, kings, gods, all fall
Into the nets of his will
There is no exception
They kneel before his domination

How many let themselves be dragged
Or die, or come to kill
All for him
They are blinded by his embracing light

For ages and ages

The poets bleed for his gift
His power is unreasonable
And his recklessness

I was not able to see before my eyes
What others have tried to find
So much was spoken in ancient writings
Myths, legends, the real chimera

Salvation makes its way into your soul
A gale takes hold of you

His clarity envelops my essence
I open myself to you, put your wings on me

I have learned that love
Can conquer everything
Nothing can stop its power
Oh, Virginia, your forgiveness has brought back the light
Let the celestial roar resound today

Now I can feel
Finally, I open my heart to you
Hold my hands
And let's embrace our love

I resisted giving you my being
To take refuge in your arms
How selfish, mean, and vile
Now I can understand

When you have loved and died of love
There is always shelter in the soul
To forget and be able to forgive
To whom is everything to you

You understood that love
Can conquer everything
Nothing can stop its power
You are free, your soul can now rest
The torment is over
Rest in peace
