Los Espinos -- Luis Cernuda (Spain)

Los Espinos
The Thorns

Verdor nuevo los espinos
tienen ya por la colina,
toda de púrpura y nieve
en el aire estremecida.

New greenery the hawthorns
Now have along the hill,
Everything of purple and snow in the
trembling air.

Cuántos cielos florecidos
les has visto; aunque a la cita
ellos serán siempre fieles,
tú no lo serás un día.


Many flowering cycles
You have seen; although to the event
They will alawys be faithful,
You won't be one day.

Antes que la sombra caiga,
aprende cómo es la dicha
ante los espinos blancos
y rojos en flor. Vé. Mira.

Before the darkness falls,
Learn what happiness si like
Before the white and red hawthorns
in flower. See. Look.
