Another of my favorite words that cannot be translated, and possibly not even definable. At times I've tried, but I get so emotionally caught up in trying to explain in completeness its full meaning... ach, it's better left to experience. I usually end up holding my right hand pressed against my own chest with my eyebrows in full furrow, the left hand held out tensely in an all at once apology/get it?/feel it?/pain gesture.
Silly, right?

Every song Cada canción
is the remains es un remanso
of love. del amor.
Every light Cada lucero,
the remains un remanso
of time. del tiempo.
A knot Un nudo
of time. del tiempo.
And every sigh Y cada suspiro
the remains un remanso
of a cry. del grito.
-Federico Garcia Lorca
...that is easily the best word. Ever.
