Mandarinas (original)Mandarinas (translation)
Recuerdo: cuando niño I remember: when I was a child
robaba mandarinas, stole tangerines,
redondeces de oro rounds of gold
que una dulce vecina what a sweet neighbor
cuidaba de mis garras took care of my claws
-mis garras asesinas- -my killer claws-
como quien cuida el tiempo like someone who takes care of time
que no arruine la vida. don't ruin life.
Yo esquivaba en la siesta I dodged in the nap
la leve ligustrina, the slight privet,
sobornando a su perro bribing his dog
con sobras de cocina, with kitchen leftovers,
y entraba al terrenito and he entered the field
de Doña Catalina, of Dona Catalina,
que dormía su sueño that she slept her sleep
tras pesadas cortinas. behind heavy curtains.
Alzaba mi tesoro I raised my treasure
y escalaba la encina, and climbed the oak,
después, con un silbido, then, with a whistle,
le avisaba a Cristina she warned Cristina
y comíamos juntos, and we ate together
y ella a veces reía and she sometimes laughed
con risa transparente y fulgor de aguamarina. with transparent laughter and aquamarine radiance.
Silbo de vez en cuando I whistle from time to time
para ver que sucede to see what happens
aunque hace tantos años even though so many years ago
que talaron la encina, who cut down the oak,
y aunque no me lo crean and even if you don't believe me
a veces siento risas, sometimes I feel laughter,
y un perfume en el aire, and a perfume in the air,
como de mandarinas…like tangerines...
