Mañana Porteña En Madrid(original) |
Todos los días lo encontraba |
en el mismo autobús, el mismo viaje. |
Le oía platicar y nos hablaba |
de las calles de Boedo en Buenos Aires. |
Tardes de truco y los amigos, |
los pibes, la vieja y esas noches |
de diciembre en el portal de cada casa. |
Y era todo tan suave como un roce. |
Su soliloquio oíamos, entre paradas, |
y Argentina, despacito, se colaba |
en la mañana fría y los viajeros |
sonreían escuchando sus palabras. |
Nos hablaba del temor y la miseria, |
de la crisis que ennegrece estos días |
y recordaba antes de que todo estallara: |
él tuvo planes, futuro, toda una vida. |
Y el autobús callaba y de repente |
habitábamos todos un colectivo |
recorriendo, cansado, Buenos Aires, |
por las calles de un Madrid lleno de frío. |
Ahora, decía, estaba bárbaro: |
tenía un buen laburo y ya su jefe |
le había prometido que muy pronto |
le arreglaría todos los papeles. |
Y muy pronto los pibes y la vieja |
se vendrían acá. |
Todo se arregla. |
«Cuestión de confianza», nos decía. |
El futuro ha de venir en primavera. |
Y me parece oír un dulce tango, |
y no sé si eres vos o si sos tú, |
entre el yira o tal vez la última curda, |
tenés el corazón mirando al sur. |
Cada mañana nos toca leer |
nuevas leyes contra el viajero que llega. |
Entonces pienso en él. |
Ruego a los dioses |
que guarden su camino y lo protejan. |
No lo hemos vuelto a ver. |
Hará |
tres meses desde el tiempo en que decía |
que se sentía tan bien acá en España… |
igual que si estuviera en su Argentina. |
(translation) |
Every day I found it |
on the same bus, the same trip. |
He heard him talk and spoke to us |
of the streets of Boedo in Buenos Aires. |
Afternoon tricks and friends, |
the kids, the old woman and those nights |
December in the portal of each house. |
And it was all as smooth as a touch. |
His soliloquy we heard, between stops, |
and Argentina, slowly, slipped in |
in the cold morning and the travelers |
They smiled listening to his words. |
He spoke to us of fear and misery, |
of the crisis that darkens these days |
and he remembered before everything exploded: |
he had plans, a future, a lifetime. |
And the bus was silent and suddenly |
we all inhabited a collective |
touring, tired, Buenos Aires, |
through the streets of a Madrid full of cold. |
Now, he said he, he was barbaric: |
he had a good job and already his boss |
he had promised her that very soon |
he would arrange all the papers for her. |
And very soon the kids and the old woman |
they would come here |
Everything is fixed. |
"A matter of trust," he told us. |
The future must come in spring. |
And I think I hear a sweet tango, |
and I don't know if it's you or if it's you, |
between the yira or perhaps the last curda, |
you have the heart facing south. |
Every morning we have to read |
new laws against the arriving traveller. |
Then I think of him. |
I pray to the gods |
that they guard their way from him and protect him. |
We have not seen him again. |
will do |
three months from the time he said |
that he felt so good here in Spain... |
as if he were in his Argentina. |
