Original text and translations

Spanish text Anoche cuando dormía soñé ¡bendita ilusión! que una fontana fluía dentro de mi corazón. Dí: ¿por qué acequia escondita, agua, vienes hasta mí, manantial de nueva vida en donde nunca bebí? Anoche cuando dormía soñé ¡bendita ilusión! que una colmena tenía dentro de mi corazón; y las doradas abejas iban fabricando en él, con las amarguras viejas blanca cera y dulce miel. Anoche cuando dormía soñé ¡bendita ilusión! que un ardiente sol lucía dentro de mi corazón. Era ardiente porque daba calores de rojo hogar y era sol porque alumbraba y porque hacía llorar. Anoche cuando dormía soñé ¡bendita ilusión! que era Dios lo que tenía dentro de mi corazón.

English translation Last night as I was sleeping I dreamed, blessed illusion! That a fountain flowed within my heart. I said, "From what hidden aquifer, Water, do you come to me? Dawn herald of a new life From which I never drank." Last night as I was sleeping I dreamed, blessed illusion! That I had a honeycomb within my heart And the golden bees were making in it, Out of old bitterness, White wax and sweet honey. Last night as I was sleeping I dreamed, blessed illusion! That I had a burning sun within my heart. It was burning because it gave the heat of a red hearth And it was sun because it illumined and because it made me cry. Last night as I was sleeping I dreamed, blessed illusion! That it was God I had Within my heart.
