Santa Clarita Valley History In Pictures

To Miss E.G.
By TIBURCIO VASQUEZ.
Written betw. May 11, 1874 & March 19, 1875.
[ORIGINAL SPANISH VERSION][ENGLISH TRANSLATION]

With a sincere love, I worship you
When, beauty at my side, I had you
With a sincere love, I pledge my adoration
I worship, I adore you, with my soul

Separated from you, alone, lost
Sad and meditating, I pass the time
Alone, remembering an idolized love
In my solitude, alone contemplate

I call to you and ask that you help me
I remember my grief and bitterness
I know heaven hears me
In those moments; what madness!

Although the two of us find ourselves far apart
Always my heart beats for you
And I send you my outstretched hand
Angel of my heart that is, fulonita

    Tiburcio Vasquez
