Of the Annunciation by San Juan de la Cruz
Entonces llamo a un archangel It was an angel he beckoned ;
que San Gabriel se decia it was Gabriel came;
y enbiolo a un donzella he waved him away on an errand
que se llamaba maria to Mary --treasure the name.
de cuyo consentimiento
el mysterio se hacia She must say the right word, this maiden,
en la cual la trinidad for the wonder of wonders to be ;
de carne al verbo vestia for the Word to be dressed forever
y aunque tres hacen la obra in flesh for the mighty three.
en el uno se hacia
y quedo el verbo encarnado Three had a hand in the work,
en el vientre de maria but it worked an effect on one.
y el que tenia solo padre Who but the Word made flesh?
ya tambien madre tenia Where but in Mary\'s womb?
aunque no como cualquiera
que de varon concebia The son had a father before ;
que de las entranas de ella first had a mother then.
el su carne recibia Mother yes, but no mother
por lo cual hijo de Dios Concieving as mothers of men.
y de el hombre se decia
He had his flesh of her flesh :
so a new life began.
Now the son of the highest
answers to son of man.
