El Cardenal
Violeta Rivas
The Cardinal
In the stillness of the rose garden
The voice of the cardinal is heard
Calling, crying out
Crying, imploring
Hear my love, my heart
Hear the beating of its prayer
Listen to its plea and return...
I also continue
Like the cardinal calling
Like the cardinal without achieving
That its flight stops
In vain like the cardinal I wait for you
Like the cardinal, without knowing...
In what dawn you will return...
