Vuelta de paseo

Federico García Lorca

Asesinado por el cielo.

Entre las formas que van hacia la sierpe

y las formas que buscan el cristal

dejaré crecer mis cabellos.

Con el árbol de muñones que no canta

y el niño con el rostro de huevo.

Con los animalitos de cabeza rota

y el agua harapienta de los pies secos.

Con todo lo que tiene cansancio sordomudo

y mariposa ahogada en el tintero.

Tropezando con mi rostro distinto de cada día.

¡Asesinado por el cielo!

After a Walk

Federico García Lorca

Translated by Christopher Maurer

Cut down by the sky.

Between shapes moving toward the serpent

and crystal-craving shapes,

I’ll let my hair grow.

With the amputated tree that doesn’t sing

and the child with the blank face of an egg.

With the little animals whose skulls are cracked

and the water, dressed in rags, but with dry feet.

With all the bone-tired, deaf-and-dumb things

and a butterfly drowned in the inkwell.

Bumping into my own face, different each day.

Cut down by the sky!
