Rosa [English translation]

You are divine and gracious

A majestic statue of love

Sculpted by God

And formed with passion

In the soul of the most beautiful flower

Of the strongest scent

That in life is preferred by the hummingbird

If God had been so merciful to me

Here in this atmosphere of light

Formed on a dazzling and beautiful canvas

Your heart speared together with mine

Nailed and crucified on the pink cross

Of your heaving chest

You are the ideal shape

A masterful statue, oh eternal soul

Of my first love, sublime love

You are God’s sovereign flower

You are God’s creation

Who buries a love in every heart

The smile, faith and pain

In scented sandalwood trees full of aroma

In voices as sorrowful as a blooming dream

You are a milky star

You are the mother of royalty

In short you are everything that is beautiful

In all the radiance of holy nature

Sorry if I dare to confess to you

I will always love you

Oh flower, my heart can’t resist

Oh my God, how sad it is

The uncertainty of a love

That makes me suffer most in waiting

In leading you one day

By the altar

To swear, at the feet of the almighty

In moving prayers of sorrow

And to receive the anointing of your gratitude

Since fulfilling my wishes

In clouds of kisses

I will surround you until I suffer

I will end it all
