Aunque Es de Noche

How well I know the source that flows and runsQué bien sé yo la fuente que mana y corre
Although it is nightAunque es de noche

That eternal source is hiddenAquella eterna fuente está escondida
How well I know where it has its abodeQue bien sé yo donde tiene su manida
Although it is nightAunque es de noche

In this dark night of this lifeEn esta noche oscura de esta vida
How well I know by faith the cold sourceQué bien sé yo por fe la fuente fría
Although it is nightAunque es de noche

I do not know its origin, for it has noneSu origen no lo sé, pues no lo tiene
But I know that all origins come from itMas sé que todo origen de ella viene
Although it is nightAunque es de noche

I know there can be no thing so beautifulSé que no puede haber cosa tan bella
And that heavens and earth drink from itY que cielos y tierra beben de ella
Although it is nightAunque es de noche

I know its bottom is not found in this lifeBien sé que suelo en ella no se halla
And that no one can cross itY que ninguno puede vadearla

Its clarity is never darkenedSu claridad nunca es oscurecida
And all light comes from itY toda luz de ella es venida
Although it is nightAunque es de noche

And its currents are so abundantY son tan caudalosas sus corrientes
That heavens, hells, and people are irrigated by themQue cielos, infiernos riegan y las gentes
