The dark Golondrinas, in their migrations, will return to once again build their nests and flutter their wings against the windowpanes of your balcony while playing and calling to one another. But those who felt your beauty and heard my ardent praises of it...those that learned our names...those will never return!
The thick Madreselvas (vines) will return to climb the walls of your garden, and again, in the afternoon, even more beautifully, will open their flowers. But those drops of dew we used to watch tremble and fall like tears of the day...those will never return!
Ardent words of love will return to your ears; your heart from its profound dream will perhaps awaken. But silent, rapt, and on knees, as one would worship God before his altar--as I have loved you--do not deceive yourself. For they will never love you so completely.
