QUISIERA DARTE...

Quisiera dar a tu vida
horizonte,
las estrellas,
horas felices y bellas,
la dote ancestral del orbe.

Quisiera dar a tu vida
paz, sosiego,
fantasía;
realidad en la utopía,
un vergel dichoso y nuevo.

Quisiera dar a tu vida
los colores,
la belleza,
la virgen naturaleza,
la fortaleza del roble.

Quisiera dar a tu vida
fértil tierra,
claro cielo,
majestad del alto vuelo,
honra de alcanzar tu meta.

Quisiera dar a tu vida
toda mi alma,
gota a gota,
la fe que en la gracia brota,
el poder de la plegaria.

Quisiera dar a tu vida
feraz sangre
de mis venas,
el cariño a manos llenas,
en cercanía ampararte.

Quisiera dar a tu vida
los luceros,
santa herencia,
la pureza, la inocencia,
libertad, desprendimiento.

Quisiera dar a tu vida
bendición,
hijo mío,
el ancho cauce del río
y al final el mar de Dios.

I WOULD WISH TO GIVE YOUR LIFE...

I would wish to give your life
horizons,
the stars,
happy and beautiful hours,
the ancestral dowry of the world.

I would wish to give your life
peace, serenity,
fantasy;
reality within utopia,
a blessed and newfound garden.

I would wish to give your life
all colors,
all beauty,
virgin nature,
the strength of the oak.

I would wish to give your life
fertile earth,
clear skies,
the majesty of soaring flight,
the honor of reaching your goal.

I would wish to give your life
my entire soul,
drop by drop,
the faith that blossoms from grace,
the power of prayer.

I would wish to give your life
the fertile blood
of my veins,
affection in overflowing measure,
the shelter of my nearness.

I would wish to give your life
the stars,
a holy inheritance,
purity and innocence,
freedom and detachment.

I would wish to give your life
a blessing,
my son,
the broad current of the river
and at the end, the sea of God.
