La venia bendita [English translation]

There's not enough hours in the day

for us to keep loving each other.

It was barely midday

and only now is it dawning on us

that only our souls know

what's happening.

There's not enough blood in our veins

to withstand what we feel,

and there's plenty of graves in the earth

for when it's our time to die,

where we can bury the death

of all that we've lived through.

Kiss me tenderly like this

and let's draw out our destiny,

for a love as precious as this

that was given to us along the way,

has the blessed approval

of the mighty Lord.

Something is being spoken of

by flowers in bloom and the wind,

it seems like they're speaking of our great affection,

as if they were bestowing us

life in every moment.

Kiss me tenderly like this

and let's draw out our destiny,

for a love as precious as this

that was given to us along the way,

has the blessed approval

of the mighty Lord.
