La noche de mil noches (2007)
(text: Pablo Neruda 1904-1973)




La noche de mil noches y una noche,
la sombra de mil sombras y un latido,
el agua de mil aguas que cayeron,
el fuego destapando sus embudos,
la ceniza vestida de medusa,
la tierra dando un grito.

Hombre soy, por qué nací en la tierra?

Dónde está mi mortaja?

Ésta es la muerte?

English Translation:


The night of a thousand and one nights
the shadow of a thousand shadows and a heartbeat,
the water of a thousand waters falling,
fire uncovering funnels,
ashes dressed up like Medusa,
the Earths lamentation.

I am a man. Why was I born to earth?

Where is the shroud?

Is this death?
