Es el amor del agua cuando quiere,
salvar la sed del hombre,
y deshoja su aroma,
en los campos blanqueados,
por la flor del espino.
Es el amor del agua, la memoria,
que hace vivos los cuerpos,
que hace vivas las nubes,
que hace vivas las selvas.
Pablo Guerrero - (fragmento del poema; «El amor del agua»).
It's the love of water when it wants
to slake mans’ thirst
and shed her scent
in the bleached fields
by the hawthorn flower.
It is love of water, the memory
that brings life to bodies
that brings life to clouds
that brings life to jungles
(…)
Pablo Guerrero (from The Love of Water) |
