Sacrilegio

Sacrilege

Sacrilegio

Before the shrine of your love, I knelt downAnte el sagrario de tu amor me arrodille
Before the altar of your charms, I surrenderedAnte el altar de tus encantos me rendí
With the host of your kisses, I communedCon la hostia de tus besos comulgué
In the court of your skin, I confessedEn la curia de tu piel me confesé
And from the chalice of your chest, I drankY del cáliz de tu pecho yo bebí

From the incense of your scent, I breathed inDel incienso de tu aroma respire
With your heavenly cloak, I found my shieldCon tu manto celestial me protegí
On my knees, I offered you my giftsDe rodillas mis ofrendas te entregué
In my creed, I called upon you so many timesEn mi credo tantas veces te invoqué
And in your faithful worshiper, I becameY en tu fiel adorador me convertí

Blinded by love, I followed your lightCiego de amor me encamine tras de tu luz
I laid my heart at the altar of your liesPostre al altar de tu mentira me ansiedad
Like Simon of Cyrene, I helped you bear the crossCual cirineo te ayude a cargar la cruz
And on that very cross, you hung me without mercyY en esa misma cruz me cuelgas sin piedad

You were my faith, you were my creed and my prayerFuiste mi fe fuiste mi credo y mi oración
My open psalm, my rosary, my truthMi salmo abierto mi rosario mi verdad
My holy water, my kindness, my religionMi agua bendita mi bondad mi religión
My penance, my cry, my communionMi penitencia mi clamor mi comunión
And that myth that is worshipped in the vastnessY el mito aquel que se adora en la inmensidad

What a sacrilege, what an injustice I committedQue sacrilegio que injusticia cometí
Dressing your terrifying figure as an angelVestir de ángel tu figura de terror
I, the sinner, confess my faults hereYo pecador confieso mis culpas aquí
And in that temple I built for you yesterdayY en ese templo que ayer hice para ti
Today, on my knees, I repent of my mistakeHoy de rodillas me arrepiento de mi error

From the cruel crown of thorns, I freed youDe la cruel corona de espinas te libré
And those thorns now cause me more painY esas espinas hoy me causan mas dolor
And you kissed me sweetly, but for what?Y me besabas dulcemente para que
If just like Judas, you gave me the traitor's kissSi igual que judas me diste el beso traidor
