Text Translation | Se nos ha ido la tarde en cantar una canción, en perseguir una nube y en deshojar una or. Se nos ha ido la noche en decir una oración, en hablar con una estrella y en morir con una or. Y se nos irá la aurora en volver a esa canción, en perseguir otra nube y en deshojar otra or. Ysenosirálavida sin sentir otro rumor, que el del agua de las horas que se lleva el corazón... - Jaime Torres Bodet The afternoon has gone and left us In the singing of a song, In the chasing of a cloud While picking the petals from a ower. The night has gone and left us In the murmuring of a prayer, In speaking with a star While dying with a ower. And dawn will go and leave us In the return of that song, In the chasing of another cloud, While picking the petals from another flower. And life will go and leave us Without another sound, Except that of the waters of time Flowing through the heart... -Translation by Katie Villaseñor |
