My Heaven here below!...

My Heaven here below!... 

1 Jesus, your ineffable image 

It is the star that guides my steps 

Ah! You know it, your sweet face. 

Heaven is for me here below. 

My love discovers the charms 

From your face, beautified by tears 

I smile through my tears 

When I contemplate your pain… 

2 Oh! I want to console you 

To live ignored on this earth!.... 

Your beauty that you know how to veil 

Its mystery is revealed to me. 

I would like to fly away to you! 

3 Your Face is my only Homeland 

She is my Kingdom of Love 

She is my laughing meadow 

My sweet sunshine every day 

She is the Lily of the Valley 

Including its mysterious fragrance 

Console my exiled soul 

He is given a taste of the peace of Heaven. 

4 She is my Rest, my Sweetness

And my melodious Lyre…. 

Your Face, O my sweet Savior 

Is the Divine Bouquet of Myrrh 

Something I want to keep close to my heart! 

5 Your Face is my only wealth 

I'm not asking for anything more. 

In her, constantly hiding myself 

I will be like you, Jesus…. 

Leave the Divine imprint upon me 

Your features are filled with sweetness 

And soon, I will become a saint 

I will draw hearts towards you. 

6 So that I may amass 

A beautiful golden harvest

 Deign to set me ablaze with your fires. 

Soon from your beloved mouth 

Give me the eternal kiss!..
