Horizon

Cancun (from Women Island) Mx.

Caribbean Sea (from one of Cancun beaches)

Horizon

To cross the horizon grown old

And watch at the bottom of dreams

The fluttering star

You were so lovely

you could not speak

I moved away

But carry in my hand

That native sky

And its wasted sun

This afternoon

in a café

I have drunk

A liquor trembling

Like a red fish

And once again in the glass hidden

That filial dream

You were so lovely

you could not speak

Something was dying in your chest

Your eyes were green

but I was moving away

You were so lovely

I learnt how to sing.

Horizonte

Pasar el horizonte envejecido
Y mirar en el fondo de los sueños
La estrella que palpita


Eras tan hermosa
que no pudiste hablar
Y me alejé
Pero llevo en la mano
Aquel cielo nativo
Con un sol gastado


Esta tarde
en un café
he bebido
un licor tembloroso
Como un pescado rojo


Y otra vez en el vaso escondido
Ese sueño filial
Eras tan hermosa
que no pudiste hablar
En tu pecho algo agonizaba
Eran verdes tus ojos
pero yo me alejaba


Eras tan hermosa
que aprendí a cantar.

～Vicente Huidobro
