Rosa

You are divine and graceful
Majestic statue
Of love!
Sculpted by God
And formed with ardor

From the soul of the most beautiful flower
With the most active scent
That in life is preferred
By the hummingbird

If God
Had been so merciful to me
Here in this environment of light
Formed on a canvas
Dazzling and beautiful

Your heart
Next to mine pierced
Nailed and crucified
Upon the rose and the cross
Of your heaving chest

You are the ideal form
Masterful statue
Oh! Perennial soul
Of my first love
Sublime love

You are from God
The sovereign flower
You are from God the creation
That in every heart
Buries a love

Laughter, faith, pain
In fragrant sandalwood
Full of flavor
In voices so mournful
Like a dream in bloom

You are a milky star
You are the mother of royalty
You are everything finally
That is beautiful
In all the splendor
Of holy nature

Forgive me!
If I dare to confess to you
I will always love you
Oh, flower!
My heart cannot resist
Oh, my God
How sad it is
The uncertainty of a love
That makes me suffer more
In waiting
In leading you
One day to the altar

To swear at the feet of the Almighty
In moving prayers
Of pain, and receive the anointing
Of your gratitude

After redeeming my desires
In clouds of kisses
I will envelop you
Until my suffering
Completely fades away
