Song of the soul
Frederic Mompou i Dencausse
That eternal fountain is hidden,
I know well where it lies,
even though it is night.
I do not know its origin, since it has none,
But i know that every origin comes from it,
Even though it is night.
I know there cannot be anything as beautiful
And heaven and earth drink from it,
Even though it is night.
I know its streams to be so full
that they water Hell, Heaven and people
Even though it is night.
The stream that pours forth from this fountain
I know who capable it is, and how strong,
Even though it is night
This fountain is hidden
In this living bread to give us life
In this dark night.
For I know by faith it's the cold fountain.
This living fountain that that I desire
I see it in this bread of life
Even though it is night.
