Spanish <br /> <br />Si la vida es amor, bendita sea! <br />Quiero más vida para amar! Hoy siento <br />Que no valen mil años de la idea <br />Lo que un minuto azul del sentimiento. <br /> <br />Mi corazon moria triste y lento… <br />Hoy abre en luz como una flor febea; <br />La vida brota como un mar violento <br />Donde la mano del amor golpea! <br /> <br />Hoy partio hacia la noche, triste, fría <br />Rotas las alas mi melancolía; <br />Como una vieja mancha de dolor <br />En la sombra lejana se deslíe… <br />Mi vida toda canta, besa, ríe! <br />Mi vida toda es una boca en flor! <br /> <br />----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> <br />English <br /> <br /> <br />If life were love, how blessed it would be! <br />I want more life so to love! Now I feel <br />A thousand years of ideas are not worth <br />One blue minute of sentiment. <br /> <br />My heart was dying slowly, sadly… <br />Now it opens like a Phoebean flower: <br />Life rushes forth like a turbulent sea <br />Whipped by the hand of love. <br /> <br />My sorrow flies into the night, sad, cold <br />With its broken wings; <br />Like an old scar that continues to ache– <br />In the distant shade it dissolves… <br />All my life sings, kisses, laughs! <br />All my life is a flowering mouth!<br /><br />Delmira Agustini<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/explosi-n-explosion/
