León de Greiff

Briefer


You shall not go for you have just come,
slight illusion of dream, dense, intense, vibrant flower.

My bold heart, for the reapings
is hard hand audacious… for the dominion, soft…

My bold heart adrift…
You shall not go, for you are just coming.

If you go, if you left… When you return,
you shall return even more lascivious
and you shall find me, lascivious, waiting…

No te me vas que apenas te me llegas,
leve ilusión de ensueño, densa, intensa flor viva.

Mi ardido corazón, para las siegas
duro es y audaz... para el dominio, blando...

Mi ardido corazón a la deriva...
No te me vas, apenas en llegando.

Si te me vas, si te me fuiste... cuando
regreses, volverás aún más lasciva
y me hallarás, lascivo, te esperando...
