Polvo enamorado [English translation]

I fear neither life nor death

when I feel my heart beat in your breast,

there is no power in the world which will

make me bow down by force to its cause

when you are earth,

when I am water.

There is no mystery whose secret is hidden

when I sense in your body that the beginning is the end ,

that life is the dream that creates me

From your belly beyond Good and Evil

when you are earth,

when I am water.

And if we in the end no more than dust

we will be dust, we will be no more than dust ...

more loving dust.

There are neither sufficient golden calves,

Nor perfumes of incense nor wreathes of laurel

To sow in me a single doubt

Or remove me for a moment from your skin

when you are earth,

when I am water.

I do not care if I fall into madness,

That divine hell where God and Lucifer

invented the angel and the devil

who live in your woman’s body

When you are earth

when I am water.

And if we are in the end no more than dust
