Text Translation

Muere el sol en los montes, con la luz que agoniza pues la vida en su prisa, nos conduce a morir. Pero no importa saber que voy a tener el mismo final porque me queda el consuelo que Dios nunca morirá. Voy a dejar las cosas que amé, la tierra ideal que me vio nacer, pero se que después habré de gozar la dicha y la paz que en Dios hallaré. Se que la vida empieza en donde se piensa que la realidad termina. Se que Dios nunca muere y que se conmueve del que busca su beatitud Se que una nueva luz habrá de alcanzar nuestra soledad y que todo aquel que llega a morir, empieza a vivir una eternidad. / The sun dies in the hills, With agonizing light Because life, in all its hurry Brings us to death. But it doesn’t really matter That I will reach the same end Because I am comforted In knowing that God will never die. I will leave behind the things I loved, The perfect land That witnessed my birth, But I know that later on I will enjoy the happiness and peace That I will find in God. I know that life begins Where it is thought That reality ends. I know that God never dies And is even moved By those who seek His blessing I know that a new light Will reach us in our loneliness And that everyone who dies Begins to live for eternity.
