Text Translation	Sung in Spanish I love the light of dawn because it kisses you and returns you alive, alive and fanciful. Straight ear of grain in the wind of midday, I love the sun that guilds it, ripe and mine. When the afternoon cries for its lost light, I love the trill you pin over my life. I love so much the night which is infinite like your sweet, dark, tepid hour. O, heart of night, day’s gala! My life burns for your happiness. —Arturo Vazquez (1888-1958)
