You Are the Water

 

You are the water,
My soul is a stream,
Flowing through my heart
Is fresh and clear water.

Listen to your drops of music
Which fall from an eternal spring.
It waters the flowers of your love,
Embracing me forever.

So your flowering water
Caresses my golden soul,
It calms the anguish of my burning thirst.

Oh! How beautiful is the water
In your crystal-clear stream.
It is a diaphanous thread of shining water.
