[ORIGINAL SPANISH VERSION][ENGLISH TRANSLATION]
With a sincere love, I worship you
When, beauty at my side, I had you
With a sincere love, I pledge my adoration
I worship, I adore you, with my soulSeparated from you, alone, lost
Sad and meditating, I pass the time
Alone, remembering an idolized love
In my solitude, alone contemplateI call to you and ask that you help me
I remember my grief and bitterness
I know heaven hears me
In those moments; what madness!Although the two of us find ourselves far apart
Always my heart beats for you
And I send you my outstretched hand
Angel of my heart that is, fulonitaTiburcio Vasquez
