The dark night of the Soul

Upon a darkened night

The flame of love was burning in my breast
And by a lantern bright
I fled my house while all in quiet rest
Shrouded by the night
And by the secret stair I quickly fled
The veil concealed my eyes
While all within lay quiet as the dead
Chorus
!h night thou was my guide
!f night more loving than the rising sun
!h night that "oined the lover
To the beloved one
Transforming each of them into the other
Upon that misty night
In secrecy# beyond such mortal sight
Without a guide or light
Than that which burned so deeply in my heart
That fire t$was led me on
And shone more bright than of the midday sun
To where he waited still
It was a place where no one else could come
%Chorus&
Within my pounding heart
Which kept itself entirely for him
'e fell into his sleep
(eneath the cedars all my love I gave
)rom o$er the fortress walls
The wind would his hair against his brow
And with it$s smoothest hand
Caressed my every sense it would allow
%Chorus&
I lost myself to him
And laid my face upon my lover$s breast
And care and grief grew dim
As in the morning$s mist became the light
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair
Tras una noche oscura
*a llama del amor ard+a en mi pecho
, por una linterna brillante
'u+ de mi casa# mientras todos los dem-s en calma
.nvuelto por la noche
, por la escalera secreta que r-pidamente huyeron
.l velo ocultaba mis o"os
/ientras todo descansaba tranquilo como los muertos
.stribillo
0!h noche que fuiste mi gu+a
1e la noche m-s amorosa que el sol naciente
0!h noche que "untaste el amante
2ara el ser amado
*a transformaci3n de cada uno de ellos en el otro
Tras esa noche brumosa
.n secreto# m-s all- de la vista mortal# tales
Sin una gu+a o lu4
5ue el que quem3 tan profundamente en mi cora43n
.se fuego T$was me llev3 en
, brill3 m-s brillante que el sol del mediod+a
2ara donde esper3 todav+a
.ra un lugar donde nadie m-s podr+a venir
%.stribillo&
1entro de mi cora43n latiendo
5ue se mantiene totalmente para 6l
Cay3 en su sue7o
2or deba"o de los cedros todos misamor que le dio
1esde que sobre el muros de la fortale4a
.l viento ser+a su cabello contra la frente
, con su suave mano
/e acarici3 todo el sentido que permitir+a
%.stribillo&
/e perd+ en 6l
, puso la cara en el pecho de mi amante
, la atenci3n y el dolor se atenu3
Al igual que en la niebla de la ma7ana se convirti3 en la

All+ atenuado entre los lirios "usto
All+ atenuado entre los lirios "usto
All+ atenuado entre los lirios "usto
