Text Translation | Verde embeleso de la vida humana, loca esperanza, frenesí dorado, sueño de los despiertos intrincado, como de sueños, de tesoros vana; alma del mundo, senectud lozana, decrépito verdor imaginado; el hoy de los dichosos esperado, y de los desdichados el mañana: sigan tu sombra en busca de tu día los que, con verdes vidrios por anteojos, todo lo ven pintado a su deseo; que yo, más cuerda en la fortuna mía, tengo en entrambas manos ambos ojos y solamente lo que toco veo. -Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Green rapture of human life, Mad hope, golden frenzy, Complex dream of the wakeful, Like of dreams of useless treasure; Soul of the world, lush senescence, Imagined decrepit verdure; The long awaited today of the lucky ones, And the tomorrow of the unlucky: They follow your shadow, searching for your day, Wearing green tinted glasses, Everything they see is colored by their desire. But I, fortunately, am more sensible I hold my eyes in both hands And I only see what I can touch. -Translation by Katie Villaseñor |
