"La Rosa: Flor de Amor" was written in january of 2006 for ssaattbb choir. text by ben kaye-skinner
A flower with no petals knows no joy,
Just as without the sun it won't deploy.
And so I sing of your love.
Darkness comes; your eyes are my light.
My love sings midnight with its starlight beaming,
Roses grow where her tears may fall.
My light, my soul
Garden of my desire,
No longer you,
No longer me
Now we are one.
La rosa conocida hermosa
Todo el mundo canta de su gloria,
Y así canto de tu amor.
Mi bella canta el sol con su sonrisa
<>
Y grita el mar en sus lagrimas.
Mi luz, mi alma,
Jardín de mi deseo,
Ya no hay tu,
Ni hay yo
Solo nosotros.
Te quiero mi amor, with all my being
My heart is yours, para lo que quieras
Belleza por todos lados,
pero amor solo en tí.
