Breath of Life 

One day I will cry out the cry of a passionate lover,
With the same strength that spring arrives,
Covering dead trees once more with leaves,
And giving life to the immense flowering green fields.
 
One day I will cry out the cry of a passionate lover,
With the same intensity as the sun brings summer.
Sun that gives life and light to the blue sky with endless clouds,
Sun that gives life and joy to those who desire and love life.
 
One day I will cry out the cry of a passionate lover,
Rolling with you for hours on end on soft sheets,
As dead leaves do on warm sidewalks,
Striking presence of another autumn coming.

One day I will cry out the cry of a passionate lover,
When in winter our bodies warm together,
With the arrival of deep sleep that always turns into dreams,
After an endless night of passionate cuddling.
