Yo soñaba con ella un Edén, Dilema Que misterios que encierra el amor |
In my dreams she was an Eden, happy paradise... all in bloom. I never thought, ever, that Eden might stagger before another love... Now the force of a strange and great love casts that landscape in shadow... What must I do, heart, what must I do, the dilemma, here it is, unresolved. Dilemma the subject is complex... What am I to do, I ask, ...forget her... love her... stop loving her. Dilemma the two loves burn, fate is deciding it, and in my life remains that one... which God wills. [Love holds such mysteries that which yesterday was but a dream, today ceases to be... I walk the path of a new love as before... the eternal dreamer... I don’t know what the ending is to be... But I worry, because I’m a romantic, what am I supposed to do, heart, what am I supposed to do? The dilemma, here it is, unresolved.] |
