People in my city, sweetheart,
Describe you differently.
Women say that you are an angel
From paradise.
But men assert that you are a princess
From Cordova in Spain.
Whereas children aver that you are a mermaid
From the magic western seas.
And I think they all are right.
For you are all of this.
You are an angel,
A princess,
A mermaid.
But more importantly
You are my beloved,
And I am honored and thrilled
That I write my love poems for you.
