LYRICS, adapted from a poem by J.W.Goethe
Take On A Thousand Forms

Take on a thousand forms
hide as you will
Oh most beloved
At once I know it is you
Conceal yourself in magic veils
and still presence in all
at once I know it is you
The cypress thrusting artless
up and young
Beauty in every limb
I know it is you
You in the fountain plume’s unfolding tip
All playful one
What joy to know it is you
When cloud assumes a shape and changes it
One manifold in all
I know it is you
When flowers veil the meadow ground
Oh starry twinkle hued
in beauty you
When on a mountain sparks of dawn appear
At once great gladdener
I welcome you
Then with the sky above rotund and clear
Then opener of the heart do I breathe you
What with bodily sense and soul I know
Teacher of all
I know alone through you
One hundred names of God I bestow
With each will echo then a name for you

LETRA en ESPAÑOL

De mil formas te has de esconder,
Sin embargo, amada mía, de inmediato sé que eres tu.
Tu que te escondes con velos mágicos
Y aun, presente en todo, de inmediato sé que eres tu
En el Ciprés, el esfuerzo joven y puro
En total belleza, de inmediato sé que eres tu
Cuando el agua de la fuente se desdobla
Oh juguetona, que alegría saber que eres tu
Cuando la nube asume una forma y la cambia
Sinfin de posibilidades en todo, así sé que eres tú
Cuando las flores velan la pradera
De colores estrellada, en belleza tú
Cuando sobre la montaña se ilumina la madrugada
De inmediato, con gran alegría, te doy la bienvenida
Y después con el cielo arriba, rotundo y claro,
Tu, quien me abre el corazón, yo te respiro
Lo que con el sentido de cuerpo y alma sé,
Maestra de todo, lo sé a través de ti
Mil nombres De Dios yo nombro
Con cada uno resuena un nombre para ti
