Yo nací en esta ribera del Arauca vibrador, soy hermana de la espuma, de las garzas, de las rosas, soy hermana de la espuma, de las garzas, de las rosas y del sol, y del sol.
Me arrulló la viva Diana de la brisa en el palmar, y por eso tengo el alma como el alma primorosa, y por eso tengo el alma como el alma primorosa del cristal, del cristal.
Amo, lloro, canto, sueño con claveles de pasión, con claveles de pasión. Amo, lloro, canto, sueño para ornar las rubias crines del potro de mi amador.
I was born in this stream of the vibrating Arauca River, I am sister of its foam, of the herons, of the roses, I am sister of its foam, of the herons, of the roses and the sun, and the sun.
I was lulled by the gentle breeze in the palm grove, and so I have the soul like the exquisite soul, and so I have the soul like the exquisite soul of the crystal, of the crystal.
I love, I weep, I sing, I dream with carnations of passion, with carnations of passion. I love, I weep, I sing, I dream to adorn the blonde mane of my lover’s colt.
Yo nací en esta ribera del Arauca vibrador, soy hermana de la espuma, de las garzas, de las rosas y del sol.
I was born in this stream of the vibrating Arauca River, I am sister of its foam, of the herons, of the roses and the sun.
The Moon is Distant From the Sea…………………...David N. Childs
Poem: Emily Dickinson b. 1969
Daemon Irrepit Callidus……………………..................György Orbán b. 1947
[Daemon ponit fraudes, inter laudes, cantus, saltus]
Daemon irrepit callidus
Allicit cor honoribus
Quidquid amabile Daemon dat Cor Jesus minus aestimat.
Caro venatur sensibus; Sensus adhaeret dapibus; Inescatur, impinguatur dilatatur.
Quidquid amabile caro dat, Cor Jesus minus aestimat.
Adde mundorum milia mille millena gaudia; Cordis aestum non explebunt, non arcebunt.
Quidquid amabile Totum dat Cor Jesus minus aestimat.
Should Be Glad
Poem: Sara Teasdale
Good……………...
[The Demon sets forth trickery amidst praise, song and dance.]
The devil sneaks expertly Tempting the honorable heart; However amiably the Demon acts, It is still worth less than the heart of Jesus.
The flesh is tempted by sensuality; Gluttony clings to our senses; It overgrows, it encroaches, it stretches. However appealing the flesh is, It is still worth less than the heart of Jesus.
Though the universe may confer Thousands upon thousands of praises, It fulfills not nor extinguishes the heart’s desires. However appealing the whole Universe is, It is still worth less than the heart of Jesus.
