Pañuelos de La Alhambra
by Mara Romero Torres
Qué brillantes son las luces de mi ciudad.
¿Te parecen hermosas?
Desde este cerro se vuelven castillos de colores:
azules, verdes, rojas, amarillas, blancas.
Todas cobijando ilusiones
como esta mía de pretenderte en mis ojos
compartiendo mi mirada,
repartiendo las luces debajo de estas estrellas.
Míralas, ¿te gustan?
Después de que las mires bajaremos a las calles
y respiraremos la noche entre la gente
regalando este aire que ahora me pertenece.
Antes de bajar, pasaremos por La Alhambra
para que bebas sus jardines y reposes en sus aguas
y puedas entender el encanto de un paseo en mi mirada.
Luego, al salón de libros y descanso
entrará por la terraza el galán de noche
y la noche será menos noche hablando contigo
hasta que mis ojos se cierren
acoplando el mundo a mi manera…
Sé que no puedes oírme,
pero quizá en este momento estés sintiendo
una inquietud extraña.
***
How bright are the lights of my city.
Do they look beautiful to you?
From this hill castles become colours:
blues, greens, reds, yellows, whites.
Wrapping all illusions
in my eyes like I hope of you
sharing my vision,
handing out the lights under these stars.
Look, do you like them?
After that you see we descend into the streets
and breathe the night among the people
to give you the atmosphere that currently is mine.
Before descending, we pass by the Alhambra
for you to drink in the gardens and rest by the waters
and you can understand the magic of a walk in my eyes.
Then, to the library and rest
night-scented jasmine will enter from the terrace
and talking with you the night will shorten
until my eyes close
to yoke the world to my way …
I know you cannot hear me
but perhaps right now you are feeling
a strange restlessness.
(Translated into the English for Gordon Mason)
