Amor-sol, abrasándose ilumina,
dócil volcán de luz y de calor,
en cotidiana entrega se extermina:
Eso es amor.

Amor-estrella, guía, luminaria,
consumida regala el resplandor
de su belleza muda y milenaria:
Eso es amor.

Amor-lumbre, apacible llama pálida,
a los hogares brinda su fulgor
y temblorosa yace en brasa cálida:
Eso es amor.

Amor-aire, que inunda los espacios
y mantiene el latido inspirador,
agotándose en chozas y palacios:
Eso es amor.

Amor-agua, fluyendo hora tras hora
para dar a los seres el vigor,
sin cesar se condensa y se evapora:
Eso es amor.

Amor-tierra, matriz del fruto, esposa,
aporta su alimento bienhechor
abriéndose en mil surcos, generosa:
Eso es amor.

Amor-fuerza, que eleva hasta la altura,
de la esencia divino soplo, ardor
que en pasión a la arcilla transfigura:
Eso es amor.

Compartir flor y espina del camino,
vivir para otra vida sin dolor,
hacer de dos futuros un destino:
¡Eso es amor!.



IT IS LOVE
Love–sun, burning as it shines,
a gentle volcano of warmth and light,
consumed in daily selfless giving:
That is love.
Love–star, a guiding light,
consumed, yet offering its glow,
the silent beauty of its ancient splendor:
That is love.
Love–flame, a peaceful, pale fire,
bringing warmth to every home,
trembling softly in glowing embers:
That is love.
Love–air, filling every space
and sustaining the inspiring heartbeat,
wearing itself away in huts and palaces:
That is love.
Love–water, flowing hour by hour
to grant all beings strength,
unceasingly condensing and evaporating:
That is love.
Love–earth, womb of fruit, faithful bride,
offering nourishing abundance,
opening itself in countless furrows, generous:
That is love.
Love–force, lifting us toward the heights,
a divine breath of essence, a fervor
that transforms clay into passion:
That is love.
To share both flower and thorn upon the road,
to live for another life without sorrow,
to turn two futures into one destiny:
That is love!
