Alzame en tus brazos

When you come down to earth
to take my soul away,
among your white feathers
speckled with brilliance.
I'll sing just for you
with a sweet melody,
the tenderest and purest song
I've ever sung to love.

I've dreamed of your kisses,
a thousand dreams cradling,
I dreamed of the hope
of being able to touch you.
But so humbly,
like one who is begging,
the gaze of the virgin
with fear of defiling.

Closing my eyes, I see your vision,
so beautiful and divine like an illusion,
I feel you passing so close to me
and I stretch out my arms, saying to you:
Take me with you to a better world,
what am I doing all alone with this pain,
you look at me, you kiss me, and taking flight,
I wake from a dream, how sad it is to dream.

At your step, the roses
spill their fragrance,
on the poet's harp
a madrigal trembles.
And the harsh nightingales
with Olympic arrogance
sing, sing your songs
in a passionate choir.

And the desolate hearts
that suffered what life holds,
the spasm of life,
this life that is pain.
When I see you so merciful
leaning towards the earth,
they bless you on their knees
like the redeeming angel.
