La Luz
Silvio Rodriguez
The Light
The light arrived, the transparency,
the light of impatience arrived,
the light came with joy,
the light of the new day arrived.
The light grew, just the light,
the light grew, rose in life,
the light grew without further ado,
the light grew and it wasn't late.
The light flew, as if announcing,
the light flew, clarifying as it flew,
the light flew touching reveille,
the light flew of the morning.
I sing the light, love complete,
I sing the light shaping the world,
I sing the light in love,
I sing the light its blaze.
The light emerged, amidst setbacks,
The light emerged a thousand times,
The light emerged with strong edge,
The light emerged over death.
The light impregnates the new history,
The light impregnates memory,
The light impregnates the dark time,
The light impregnates...
