Original in Spanish

Sweet soulyou stroll among demonswith your body of white sugarwith your hair of honeywith your smile of syrupwith your eyes of amber

And you do not fear me

Your heart is calmwhen you pass by me

It is my heart that grows restlessfor it trembles when you come nearand quivers when it sensesthe faint fragrance of your angel’s skinmade of manna and mother-of-pearl

During that fleeting secondin which you pass by meyou rescue me from this helland carry me to your Paradiseof sweetness
