Bendita la Luz

Bendita la Luz, a song that is so symbolic to me, may not be understood by the native English speakers. For the sake of English speakers to under sand I will tell you it’s translation, Holy the Light. Holy the light of what? Holy the light of her eyes is the answer, such the song is a love song. I relate because I feel her eyes are holy. I remembered the song right away when I saw her gorgeous black eyes, or may they be green- I am going to try to be confusing for no one to find out who she is.

In the full packed hallway of the first day of school I saw a girl, or may say angel, walk through the hallway with a benevolent smile. Her smile, ah her smile, was truly golden. In a concise description I will say she was a angel. She was a little bit browner than me and had a silky black hair- god, I sound corny.

I saw her again in P.E. She stand up in coquette manner and smiled with the same smile she had last time. She talked to 2 friends of mine and laughed. She turned and got a glimpse of her eyes and golly how beautiful eyes! Maybe to others these eyes aren’t anything important but for me those black eyes seemed black onyxes. They evoked me memories of that song, again. I my mind it played “Bendito Dios por encontrarnos en el camino”. But suddenly came the part “y de repente sostienes la mirada” her onyx eyes turn and meet mine. I turn away my eyes and do as if I was looking around. She believed it and turn back to talk. It had been excruciating to only see her from distance and it was about time to endeavor to talk to her. 

Two days later I found her talking to a girl that is a friend of mine. I started to talk to mi friend and then included her in the conversation. My first endeavor to talk to her had been a mayor success and I had become a friend of her. I had discovered that she was strictly Christian and that was great because I am a strict catholic. I didn’t make any difference because catholic and Christian weren’t that different. I found out she is from Panama, something I would had never guessed if she hadn’t told me. I had also learned that her voice was as beautiful as her eyes.

I think that I had really found a girl that I was truly in love with. I girl that had given me the response to learn that song in my guitar. Even thought there are chances that that opportunity never comes I will be ready if a door opens. After all I had found the girl that will own that song in my heart. My oobleck heart that is weak for some blows and strong against others. Sadly this is one of those blows that really hit me hard. I don’t know why I am sharing this but I truly feel relived.

Bendito el lugar, y el motivo de estar ahí,
Bendita la coincidencia,
Bendito el reloj, que nos puso puntual ahí,
Bendita sea tu presencia.

Bendito Dios por encontrarnos en el camino,
Y de quitarme esta soledad de mi destino.

Bendita la luz, bendita la luz de tu mirada,
Bendita la luz, bendita la luz de tu mirada,
Desde el alma.

Benditos ojos que me esquivaban,
Simulaban desde que me ignoraban,
Y de repente, sostienes la mirada.

Bendito Dios por encontrarnos en el camino,
Y de quitarme esta soledad de mi destino.

Bendita la luz, bendita la luz de tu mirada,
Bendita la luz, bendita la luz de tu mirada, oh.

Gloria divina, diste suerte de buen tino,
Y de encontrarte justo ahí en medio del camino,
Gloria al cielo de encontrarte ahora,
Llevarte mi soledad, y coincidir en mi destino,
En el mismo destino.

Bendita la luz, bendita la luz de tu mirada,
Bendita la luz, bendita la luz de tu mirada,
Bendita mirada,
Bendita mirada desde el alma, tu mirada,
Bendita, bendita, bendita mirada,
Bendita tu alma y bendita tu luz.

Tu mirada, oh, oh, oh,
Digo es tan bendita tu luz, amor, amor,
Bendito el reloj y bendito el lugar,
Benditos tus besos cerquita del mar,
Y tu mirada, amor, amor,
Que bendita tú mirada, tu mirada amor.
