Perlas

by Poet on the Piano   Sep 7, 2012


Como tus labios, pruebo la diferencia
entre una orquesta del mar y una tierra
que habla con fluidez para mi....
donde solo gris camina en la carretera
y sentio nada de un cielo submarino

El azul y yo miramos a las estrellas y
reflexionamos, si nuestros ojos van a llevar
las perlas-

como las luces y amores y rezos
que brillan y cantan
juntos debajos.

*

[Translation]

Like your lips, I taste the difference
between the ocean's orchestra and a land
that speaks fluently to me....
where only grey walks on the road
and feels nothing of an underwater sky.

The blue and I look to the stars and
ponder, if our eyes will ever wear
pearls-

like the lights and loves and prayers
that glow and sing
together below.

*Had an idea I wanted to write about and wrote some in English then did a rough translation to Spanish with some common verbs. I tried to do the accent marks, but they wouldn't show up here.... Thanks for reading!

    I love the Spanish language, it's so passionate & romantic. I really love what you did here. It's beautiful.

    ^Stunning!

    I was just talking with someone about poetry in different languages and reading the translations, It's nice to actually read one, you did such a wonderful job.

    Love it :)

    "I taste the difference

    Um, hello? MA? THIS IS GORGEOUS.

    I really couldn't get into the Spanish version... I can only pick out bits and pieces but I just feel like it would be read much too quickly.. I think because a lot of people I know that are fluent in Spanish always speak SO SO SO fast, and this, I felt, should be sloooow.

    Ears wearing pearls is a beautiful idea - will you ever have the "fancy" in your life, surrounding you? Thats what I got from this. This is really such a beautiful poem. Your last stanza, those three things. Holy crap. GORGEOUS, thats really all I can say.
