Secreto Eterno

http://www.exploringtraditions.com/ Originally written by Mexican composer José Perches Enríquez, H. Spencer Lewis adapted the song to accompany the Colombe as she opens the Rosicrucian Convocation by entering into the temple and cleansing it with incense. This version is played on a Mighty Wurlitzer Organ, similar to the Jesse Crawford version of 1927.

*I updated the audio track by cleaning it up as much as possible with various post-production audio mixing tools and adding a slight chamber echo effect.

Lyrics:

No escucharás mi bien amada,las fervid as palpitaciones
Ni las tristes vibraciones de mi amante corazón.
Un eterno secreto será en mi vida mi amor ardiente.
Mi ilusión querida y este delirio que hay en mi mente.
¡Oh mi amor imposible secreto eterno del alma mía!
Mi pecho ansía en su dolor sólo un beso de amor.

Un eterno secreto será en mi vida mi amor por siempre.
Mi ilusión querida y este delirio que hay en mi mente.
¡Oh mi amor imposible secreto eterno del alma mía!
Mi pecho ansía en su dolor sólo un beso de amor.

Un cruel dolor me está matando.
Tristísimas evocaciones.
De imposibles ilusiones.
Hieren ¡Ay! Mi corazón.

Translated Lyrics:

If I only could explain, beloved, my suffering and pain, beloved;
But there is nothing to console me to relieve my aching heart
'Tis a Secret Eternal that's always with me, in my love for you
For I get delirious when even thinking how I adore you.
Oh! my love, if I only could tell you the secret of my heart's yearning
My soul is burning for you Oh! just one kiss of love.
In my dreams I can see you in all your beauty, in all your splendor
My poor heart starts beating and I must tell you that I surrender;
But my darling, my words on my lips, I feel are suddenly dying,
My heart defying, my blood runs cold, my love secret's untold.
What a cruel life this has been for me, my love has chosen to ignore me.
All disappointing disillusions gnawing at my aching heart.
