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