Arriving in Piņeda
from the weary mountain,
I saw in a green meadow
a very cheerful mountain girl,
Vila, accompanied
by many servers,
in an orchestrated dance
of tacit sounds.
Anyone who saw it---
like me, very intensely!--
would have greatly enjoyed
the presence of my beloved.
Beauty alone
acts as a driver,
and great elegance,
and a great cleansing.
It is true that through love
I was greatly changed;
yes, in spite of myself,
I was in love.
