Trilce

[Machu Picchu]


Spanish:

Trilce – XV


En el rincón aquel, donde dormimos juntos
tantas noches, ahora me he sentado
a caminar. La cuja de los novios difuntos
fue sacada, o talvéz qué habrá pasado.

Has venido temprano a otros asuntos
y ya no estás. Es el rincón
Donde a tu lado, leí una noche,
entre tus tiernos puntos
un cuento de Daudet. Es el rincón
amado. No lo equivoces.

Me he puesto a recordar los días
de verano idos, tu entrar y salir,
poca y harta y pálida por os cuartos.

En esta noche pluviosa,
ya lejos de ambos dos, salto de pronto …
Son dos puertas abriéndose cerrándose,
dos puertas que al viento van y vienen
sombra a sombra

- César Vallejo (1892-1938)

corner to the UN, about the length of sleep
Many nits and is now Sat
Walk. The rest of the dead lovers
Then Adopted, or perhaps He Who could succeed

You come to a beginning of other questions
No longer. This is the angle
On my part is that red One night
Among the items on auction
The story of Daudet. This angle is

Remember that some dies
Summer gold were sold
A bright little weary and His rooms...

On this rainy night
One of the two Countries and break soon ...
Open rates are a close
2 ports, which come and go in the vent
Shadow shadow.
