Me Inclino Ante Tu Altar

Blessed be a thousand times your image; your tenderness
Angelic creature of unparalleled beauty
Your lips, perfumed with roses
Queen of love, the goddess, I bow down before your altar

Beloved woman, you know I love you
You know I adore you with all my heart
I beg you, my love: Do not increase my pain!
Like a note from my flute, I send you this song

I only feel in my chest the wound of a dagger
My pale face increases my pain
I ask the blessed God; the redeeming Christ
Just to be your owner to heal my ailment

My love, I wish at the foot of your window
To offer you the most beautiful flowers
And for them to tell you the greatness of my soul
That I can no longer find calm for my great suffering

Blessed be a thousand times your image; your tenderness
Angelic creature of unparalleled beauty
Your lips, perfumed with roses
Queen of love, the goddess, I bow down before your altar

I only feel in my chest the wound of a dagger
My pale face increases my pain
I ask the blessed God; the redeeming Christ
Just to be your owner to heal my ailment

And memories of other times come to my mind
Of that pure love that was happiness
Today they are just memories; memories of your charm
That I can never even in tears mitigate
