If I could talk in human and angelical languages
y no tengo amor,
but I do not have love
vengo a ser como metal que resuena,
I turn out to be as the metal that resounds
o címbalo que retiñe.
or the cymbal that tinkles
Y si tuviese profecía,
and if I be a prophet
y entendiese todos los misterios
and could understand all of the mysteries
y toda ciencia y si tuviese toda la fe,
and understand all science and have faith
de tal manera que trasladase los montes,
in such a way that transfer mountains
y no tengo amor, nada soy.
and However, I don't have love, am nothing
Y si repartiese todos mis bienes
and if I distribute all my goods
para dar de comer a los pobres,
in order to feed to the poor people
y si entregase mi cuerpo para ser quemado,
and if I give on my body to be burned
y no tengo amor, de nada me sirve.
If not love, that's no good
El amor es sufrido, es benigno;
love is suffered, is benign
no tiene envidia, el amor no es jactancioso,
Love does not envy, is not a brag
no se envanece;
does not become conceited
no hace nada indebido,
love does not do nothing undue
no busca lo suyo,
does not look for his own
no se irrita,

no guarda rencor;
love does not bear a grudge;
no se goza de la injusticia

mas se goza de la verdad.
but rejoices in truth
El amor todo lo sufre, todo lo cree,
love all it suffers, all it believe
todo lo espera, todo lo soporta.
all it awaits, all it bears
El amor nunca deja de ser...
love never stops being
"Y ahora permanecen la fe,
"and now remain the faith,
la esperanza y el amor,
hope and love,
estos tres; pero el mayor
these three but the primary
de estos tres es el amor. "
of this three is love"
