My Love A Discoverer

My Love sat afloat on the Santa Maria

And from thy heart came the Nina and the Pinta

My affection the fleet in search of your heart

Men of passion who never drifted apart

Amity rode waves with a swelling belly

Navigated in delight over the sea

Everyone the quest was to go flat

But my love knew to sail round for your heart

The horizon seemed like the end of the world

But love knew that beyond this line was gold

A treasure not yet found by natives

Dwelling where the beauty of love still lives

Clouds in a distance like islands ahead

Deceptive as a mirage they disappeared

The ocean seemed as endless as eternity

My fleet of devotion was now mutiny

But my love sat them down in a calm mood

Soon there were signs of land from swimming wood

In the remaining hours of darkness my love waited

When dawn broke with piercing light, the island ahead floated

Trees swayed upon the shore, welcomed my fleet with each gesture

Right upon your heart my adoration casted its anchor

The crew descended on the sand with their flying banner

And all rendered thanks to our Lord, kneeling on shore

My love claimed for your heart; Fernando and Queen Isabel to conquer

My love, the admiral rose and gave your heart the name San Salvador
