After finishing my paper (well... sorta... needs some editing) on Huidobro's poetry, I've decided to post some!!
oh and it decided it doesn't like my spaces on here :( so you don't actually get what it looks like with tabs and whatnot.
Estábamos tan lejos de la vida
Que el viento nos hacía suspirar
LA LUNA SUENA COMO UN RELOJ
Inútilmente hemos huido
El invierno cayó en nuestro camino
Y el pasado lleno de hojas secas
Pierde el sendero de la floresta
Tanto fumamos bajo los árboles
Que los almendros huelen a tabaco
Medianoche
Sobre la vida lejana
alguien llora
Y la luna olvidó dar la hora.
We were so far from life
That the wind made us sigh
THE MOON SOUNDS LIKE A CLOCK
Uselessly we've fled
Winter fell in our path
And the past full of dried leaves
Loses the path in the grove
We smoke so much under the trees
That the almond trees smell like tobacco
Midnight
Above the distant life
someone cries
And the moon forgot to strike the hour
