[PURE GODDESS] | CASTA DIOSA |
O pure Goddess, who silver These sacred ancient plants, Turn thy beautiful semblance on us Unclouded and unveiled... Temper, o Goddess, The brave zeal Of the ardent spirits, Scatter on the earth the peace Thou makest reign in the sky... | Casta Diosa, que plateas estas sagradas plantas ancestrales, vuelve a nosotros tu hermoso rostro sin nubes y sin velos. Templa, oh Diosa, templa Tú los corazones ardientes, templa aún el celo audaz. Esparce sobre la Tierra esa paz que Tú haces reinar en el Cielo. |
Complete the rite : and the sacred wood Be clear of the laity. When the irate and gloomy God Asks for the Roman’s blood My voice will thunder From the Druidic temple. He will fall ; I can punish him (But my heart is unable to do so). (Ah! Return to me beautiful In your first true love ; I’ll protect you Against the entire world. Ah! Return to me beautiful With your serene ray; I’ll have life, sky And homeland in your heart. Ah, return again as you were then, When I gave you my heart then, Ah, come back to me.) | [Diosa, esparce sobre la Tierra esa paz que Tú haces reinar en el Cielo] |
