AUTO DE FE

Creo en el hombre amarillo,

en la promesa de su arroz,

en sus trampas de bambú

para cazar furtivos invasores.

Creo en el sudor del campesino,

en el humo de su pipa,

en el golpe fiero de su hacha

y en su diario divagar por el camino.

Creo en las redes

saladas del pescador,

en su canoa milenaria,

en su conciencia vendida al mar

y en su invariable

plato de pescado.

Creo además en su humildad

y en su porfía por

una aurora revolucionaria.

AUTO OF FAITH

I believe in the yellow man,

in the promise of his rice,

in his bamboo traps

to hunt cunning invaders.

I believe in the sweat of the countryman,

in the smoke of his pipe,

in the fierce strike of his axe

and in his daily wander through the roads.

I believe in the cured mesh

of the fisherman,

in his timeless canoe,

in his moral sense sold to the sea

and in his consistent

bowl of fish.

Moreover I believe in his humility

and in his persistence for

a revolutionary dawn.

MI AMÉRICA… NO ES AMERICA

A Veronique Albanesse

Los Angeles, Noviembre 1962.

El espíritu de América

es un hot dog gigante con mostaza

y una helada coca kola king size.

Las barras y las estrellas

mas allá de Alcatráz, son de un color

intensamente desteñido.

El águila imperial de viejas garras,

tiene el pico gastado

y está enferma de news castle

o vomito amarillo.

La estatua de la libertad

quiere arrojar su antorcha

al Atlántico y marcharse

de nuevo a Francia, en un barco

camaronero de Onassis.

Los musulmanes negros

han formado un nuevo klan

para devorar niños blancos y palomas.

Los perros cebados de Birmingham

tienen hidrofobia,

y la llama eterna de Arlington,

consumirá las bestias de Texas.

La justicia está inclinada

al lado de Hoffa,

Campbells, además de tomates,

enlatará napalm, y Cosa Nostra

resucitará a Scar Face.

En verdad os digo:

Nada se mueve

sin la voluntad de Wall Street.

MY AMÉRICA… IS NOT AMERICA

To Veronique Albanesse

Los Angeles, November 1962.

The soul of America

is a giant hot dog with mustard

and a frozen king size coke.

The stars and stripes

beyond Alcatraz, are of

an intensely dead color.

The imperial eagle of old talons,

with worn out beak

is ill of Newcastle beers

in its yellow vomit.

The statue of liberty

wants to throw her torch

into the Atlantic and

go back to France, in one

of Onassis´ shrimp boats.

The black Muslims

have formed a new klan

to devour white children and doves.

The blood thirsty dogs

of Birmingham have rabies,

and the eternal flame of Arlington,

will consume the beasts of Texas.

Justice is bent

to the side of Hoffa,

besides tomatoes, Campbells

will can napalm, and the Cosa Nostra

will resurrect Scar Face.

In truth I tell you:

Nothing moves

without the will of Wall Street.

OFFSPRING

from dust
from torrid ashes
from the rotten bones of time
from the flesh that melts all eaten up
from the poisons of the earth
from those verses that God
shred to pieces
from there I come

ABOLENGO

del polvo
de las cenizas turbias
de los huesos roídos por el tiempo
de la carne que se deslíe mordida
por los venenos de la tierra
de esos versos que desmenuza Dios
yo vengo

WORDS FOR MY DEAD FRIEND

Tell me why your heart, like a diminished jungle,

Awaits under the earth for the unattainable birds.

Vicente Aleixandre

For Julio Daniel Chaparro (1962-1991)

Colombian journalist killed by crossed fire.

One voice to sing while asleep
A stanza over which to rest
the one that died too young
without poetry being able to
make a house to fit his heart

One voice that flows like a kiss of water
over the drying lips
of those who see death lurking
and feel tired
too tired
to at least try to throw it off with a gesture

Let this one stanza
Be the glinting knife that in the darkest night
Helps the weakest of men
Cross without danger
The alley of sadness:

One voice
The resonance of one voice
The one word of mankind

PALABRAS PARA MI AMIGO MUERTO

Dime por qué tu corazón como una selva diminuta

espera bajo tierra los imposibles pájaros.

Vicente Aleixandre

Para Julio Daniel Chaparro (1962-1991)

Periodista colombiano asesinado por una bala perdida

Una voz para cantar dormido
un verso sobre el cual repose
el que murió temprano
sin que la poesía pudiera
hacer una casa a la medida de su corazón

Una voz que corra como un beso de agua

sobre los labios resecos
de los que ven a la muerte merodear
y están cansados
muy cansados
para por lo menos intentar
espantarla con un gesto

Sea mi verso
el cuchillo de luz que en una noche oscura
empuñe el más débil de los hombres
a fin de atravesar con bien
el callejón de la tristeza:

Una voz
el eco de una voz
la palabra del hombre
