De rodillas [English translation]

(A rising river might change its course

There might be no more clouds in the sky

Many regions [places] could die from the cold

The customs [traditions] of a people could change)

(All of this could happen…)

(Death in its hurry might silence my voice

so that you wouldn’t hear my songs

Swallows could return to your window

The sun could hide itself forever)

(But the flame of love that you have kindled [lit] in me

Could [can?] never be put out [extinguished])

(Because on my knees like this

Just as God is adored with that great love

I only love you)

(The seas might not kiss her beaches

The winds might not make a sound

There may be no more shooting stars

The tenderness of a child might come to an end)

(The earth could reverse its rotation

Flowers might not give off their aroma

Perhaps not another beautiful woman will be born

The mysteries could end for mankind)
