I Cry Out in Anguish for You — ¡Ohuaya!

The pain from my longing heart can only be relieved by the poetry we make when we’re together. In the Nahuatl language, the phrase “Iuhquin tlecomoni noyollo” means — for my heart to become inflamed with love

Oh, how I miss you, my love,
I feel a sadness so deep,
Like I’m floating aimlessly in a never-ending abyss.

My heart is heavy,
¡Ohuaya!
In great anguish, I cry out for you.

I know you will hear my pleading for you from afar,
Coming to breathe into me your peace,
And together our “flower songs” will blossom once again.

The gentle beating of your heart when you’re holding me close,
Is the metronome for your beautiful music.
And the anesthesia that numbs my pain.

Hold me close,
And don’t ever let go,
For it is only you,
My heart becomes inflamed with love.

“Iuhquin tlecomoni noyollo.”
