te deseo asombro ante la existencia misma,
amor y compasión, una Tierra sana,
justicia, paz, salud y felicidad.
In celebration of the perpetual infancy
I wish you awe of existence itself,
love & compassion, a whole Earth,
justice, peace, health, & happiness.
A esto
de la trágica y gloriosa
trayectoria de su vida,
todo se reduce a esto:
enseñó amar.

It is said
that the brightness of a star
and the singing of angels
announced the birth
of the god made man,
the child born
among domestic animals.
Whatever is the story
of the tragic and glorious
trajectory of his life,
it all comes to this:
he taught love.
