Passionflower

Pasionaria

I come to tell you, beloved womanVengo a decirte, china adorada
The ancient voice of the mborayhuLa voz antigua del mborayhu
Sweet word, kind wordPalabra dulce, palabra amable
Beautiful word, that's what you arePalabra bella cuál eres tú

You are my sky and you are my starTú eres mi cielo y eres mi estrella
That always shines, my loveQue siempre alumbra che rekove
And it's the nectar of your affectionY es el néctar de tu cariño
Aromatic flower, my little boyFlor aromada, niño azoté

Your dimples are sources of charmSon tus hoyuelos fuentes de encanto
For which I yearnPor cuya causa che tarova
They are two passionflower budsSon dos capullos de pasionaria
The wild flower mburukujaLa flor silvestre mburukuja
They are two passionflower budsSon dos capullos de pasionaria
The wild flower mburukujaLa flor silvestre mburukuja

Your word is a trill and arpeggioEs tu palabra trino y arpegio
It has the rhythm of purahéiTiene cadencia del purahéi
It's the reason for a hundred poemsEs el motivo de cien poemas
And what inspires my songsY es lo que inspira che mbiai'uhéi

Your eyes have a tender sadnessTienen tus ojos tierna tristeza
And the darkness of yvapurûY la negrura de yvapurû
The sparkle of two daggersEl centelleo de dos puñales
And the languor of ka'aruY languideces del ka'aru

In this land, nothing is as beautifulEn esta Tierra nada es tan bello
As your body, my goddessComo tu cuerpo, che tupãsy
And they don't match you in beautyY no te igualan en su hermosura
Not even the gleams of kuarahyNi los fulgores del kuarahy
And they don't match you in beautyY no te igualan en su hermosura
Not even the gleams of kuarahyNi los fulgores del kuarahy
