En La Orilla Del Mundo(original) |
Se fue tornando púrpura a su paso |
un camino inexplorado |
él no lo advirtió. |
Llovió sobre su frente y sediento, |
consumió el agua del tiempo |
él no lo advirtió. |
Anduvo veinte años sin saberlo sin dolerse, |
la mirada rota sin ver el color |
de la distancia que se hizo familiar |
como las piedras que hirieron su carne |
como el polvo del camino aquel |
que aún después de haber andado |
convirtióse en un sendero árido y cruel. |
No pudo más y exánime rodó |
sobre la arena casi delirante |
como alucinado divisó |
el gris contorno de un paraje |
era la orilla del mundo |
en la que jamás pudo reposar |
(translation) |
It turned purple in its wake |
an uncharted path |
he didn't notice it. |
He rained on his forehead from him and thirsty, |
he consumed the water of time |
he didn't notice it. |
He walked twenty years without knowing it without hurting, |
the broken look without seeing the color |
from the distance that became familiar |
like the stones that wounded his flesh |
like the dust of that road |
that even after having walked |
it became an arid and cruel path. |
He couldn't take it anymore and lifelessly rolled |
on the almost delirious sand |
as hallucinated he saw |
the gray outline of a place |
it was the edge of the world |
in which he could never rest |
