April 27, 2015 Poema

Just for fun, I’m posting a Spanish poem that I found in an old poetry folder that dates back to when I studied Spanish for four years in high school.

 

Los invisibles átomos del aire
en derredor palpitan y se inflaman;
el cielo se deshace en rayos de oro;
la tierra se estremece alborozada;
oigo flotando en olas de armonía
rumor de besos y batir de alas;
mis párpados se cierran ….

¿Qué sucede?
¡Es el amor que pasa!

By Gustavo Adolfo Béquer

It roughly translates to this:

The invisible atoms of air
throb and burst around me;
The sky opens up in rays of gold;
The earth shivers in delight;
I hear murmurs of kisses and heartbeats
floating on waves of harmony;
my eyelids are closed ….
What’s going on?
It’s love passing by!
