Antonio Gamoneda

Side by side

Original language

DAWN approaches

DAWN approaches. Night still covers your wounds.

Now the knives of day arrive. Don’t

undress in the light, close your eyes.

DAGERAAD

DAGERAAD. Over je wonden ligt nog de nacht.

Reeds komen de messen van de dag. Nee,

ontbloot je niet in het licht, doe je ogen dicht.

© Vertaling: 2010, Bart Vonck

VA A amanecer. Hay noche aún sobre tus llagas.

Ya vienen los cuchillos del día. No

te desnudes en la luz, cierra los ojos.
