Poem by
Gabriel Mistral
translated by
Jodey Bateman
I Sing What You Loved I sing what you loved, my life So you'll come closer and listen, my life So you'll remember the world where you lived As it grows late I'm singing, my shadow. I don't want to stay silent, my life Without my faithful cry, how could you find me? What sign would declare me, my life? I'm the same one who was yours, my life Not slow or delayed or lost Come at nightfall, my life Come remembering a song, my life If you recognize that it's a song you learned And if my name you remember. I wait for you at no place and no time Don't fear night or fog or rainstorms Come on or off the pathway Call me to where you are, my soul And walk straight to me, my companion. |
Canto Que Amabas Yo canto lo que
tú amabas, vida mía, Yo no
quiero enmudecer, vida mía. Soy la misma que fue
tuya, vida mía. Te espero sin plazo y
sin tiempo. |
