¡ Quizá no sea en vano!

con notas de Beethoven vibrando en cada rayo
sus inefables cosas,
y habrá juntas más rosas
que en todo el mes de mayo.
Las fuentes cristalinas
irán por las laderas
saltando cristalinas
el día que me quieras.
El día que me quieras, los sotos escondidos
resonarán arpegios nunca jamás oídos.
Éxtasis de tus ojos, todas las primaveras
que hubo y habrá en el mundo serán cuando me quieras.
Cogidas de la mano cual rubias hermanitas,
luciendo golas cándidas, irán las margaritas
por montes y praderas,
delante de tus pasos, el día que me quieras …
Y si deshojas una, te dirá su inocente
postrer pétalo blanco: ¡ Apasionadamente!
Al reventar el alba del día que me quieras,
tendrán todos los tréboles cuatro hojas agoreras,
y en el estanque, nido de gérmenes ignotos,
florecerán las místicas corolas de los lotos.
El día que me quieras será cada celaje
ala maravillosa; cada arrebol, miraje
de “Las Mil y una Noches”; cada brisa un cantar,
cada árbol una lira, cada monte un altar.
El día que me quieras, para nosotros dos
cabrá en un solo beso la beatitud de Dios.

The night that you enjoy me it will be of moon,
with notes of Beethoven vibrating in every beam

terrific wings, every crimson radiance will be a mirage

hacia donde emigraban mis profundos anhelos

calma!
Más allá de tus ojos ardían los crepúsculos.

gray beret, voice of a bird and heart of a home
Toward that location where my inmost of yearnings moved

Devolvedle a la flor su fragrance
Después de marchita;
De las ondas que besan la playa
Y que una tras otra besándola expiran
Recoged los rumores, las quejas,
Y en planchas de bronce grabad su armonía.
Tiempos que fueron, llantos y risas,
Negros tormentos, dulces mentiras,
¡ Ay!, ¿ en dónde su rastro dejaron,
En dónde, alma mía?

From the waves that touch the beach
and one after the other die because touch,

and inscribe on plates of bronze their consistency.

Ah, where do they leave their mark,

la sangre de tus venas en mi boca,
tu boca ya sin luz para mi muerte.

10. “Soneto XXVII” (Sonnet XXVII) by Garcilaso de la Vega
Amor, amor, un hábito vestí
el cual de vuestro paño fue cortado;
al vestir ancho fue, más apretado
y estrecho cuando estuvo sobre mí.
Después acá de lo que consentí,
tal arrepentimiento me ha tomado,
que pruebo alguna vez, de congojado,
a romper esto en que yo me metí.
Mas ¿ quién podrá de este hábito librarse,
teniendo tan contraria su natura,
que con él ha venido a conformarse?
Si alguna parte queda por ventura
de mi razón, por mí no osa mostrarse;
que en tal contradicción no está segura.
Naked you are easy as one of your hands;
Smooth, earthy, little, transparent, round.
You΄ve moon-lines, apple paths
Naked you are slim as a naked grain of wheat.
Naked you are blue as a night in Cuba;
you΄ve vines and stars in your hair.
Naked you are yellow and roomy
as summer season in a golden church.
Naked you are small as one of your nails;
curved, subtle, rosy, till the day is born,
and you withdraw to the underground world.
As if down a long tunnel of clothes and of tasks;
your clear light dims, gets dressed, drops its leaves,
and ends up being a naked hand once again.
