A Sagrada Face

Jesus! Jesus!
Your face, I love it
North star of my exile

To see you is to lose myself in divine ecstasy
To see you is to glimpse heaven in this world
In those eyes that sparkle with tears
How much delight love discovers

Smiling, I’m enchanted by your charms
I cry thinking of your pain
To comfort you, I want this life
To carry through the darkness, in solitude

Your beauty so hidden
There you reveal yourself, there you invite me
With better thorns, better vision
Better vision!

Adorable face, you are my homeland
My Sovereign kingdom of love
Joyful garden of mystical flowers
Sun of my days, enchanting

Lily of the valleys, sweet lily
I love the scents you give me
In this life, a long martyrdom
I aspire to them, celestial peace

Silver lyre with seven strings
With me, the years will pulse for you
I will throw you in a bouquet
Chosen myrrh, like a seal
I will engrave you in my heart
In my heart!

Of rich jewels, a treasure chest
To You, I only want and your cross
In You, I hide, in You, I plunge
To imitate you, Jesus, Jesus!

Leave in my soul, deeply impressed
Your image, your features
I will become holy, I will be it quickly
And then I’ll convert hearts to you

But because I avenge the golden harvest
Golden grains to gather in the flow
With your flames, my heart warms
And the eternal kiss of the last prayer
Soon in heaven, let me enjoy
Let me enjoy!

Jesus! Jesus!
Your Face, I love it
North star of my exile
