Explosión (Explosion)

Spanish

 

Si la vida es amor, bendita sea!

Quiero más vida para amar! Hoy siento

Que no valen mil años de la idea

Lo que un minuto azul del sentimiento.

 

Mi corazon moria triste y lento…

Hoy abre en luz como una flor febea;

La vida brota como un mar violento

Donde la mano del amor golpea!

 

Hoy partio hacia la noche, triste, fría

Rotas las alas mi melancolía;

Como una vieja mancha de dolor

En la sombra lejana se deslíe…

Mi vida toda canta, besa, ríe!

Mi vida toda es una boca en flor!

 

English

 

If life were love, how blessed it would be!

I want more life so to love! Now I feel

A thousand years of ideas are not worth

One blue minute of sentiment.

 

My heart was dying slowly, sadly…

Now it opens like a Phoebean flower:

Life rushes forth like a turbulent sea

Whipped by the hand of love.

 

My sorrow flies into the night, sad, cold

With its broken wings;

Like an old scar that continues to ache–

In the distant shade it dissolves…

All my life sings, kisses, laughs!

All my life is a flowering mouth!
