Original in Spanish

Before me,my love,there was nothing

No one evercame into your lifeknocking down your door,until now

No one everstole your soulto fuse it with their own,until now

No one evertouched your body,only Iwith my sword

No handgrazed your skin,only my hand,a poet’s

No breathcalmed your fearsonly the warm breezeof my mouth

No heartbeat beside yours,only mine,which is now yours

Before me,my love,there was nothing

Today I beginan eon of love,and I will be for youyour alphaand your omega

After me,my love,there will be nothing
