La tarde consumió su luego fatuo
The afternoon consumed its then fatuous
Sin carne, sin pecado, sin quizás
No flesh, no sin, no maybe
La noche se agavilla como un ave
The night swarms like a bird
A punto de emigrar
about to emigrate
Y el mundo es un hervor de caracolas
And the world is a boil of snails
Ayunas de pimienta, risa y sal
Pepper, Laughter and Salt Fast
Y el sol es una lágrima en un ojo
And the sun is a tear in an eye
Que no sabe llorar
who doesn't know how to cry
Tu espalda es el ocaso de septiembre
Your back is the sunset of September
Un mapa sin revés ni marcha atrás
A map without reversal or going back
Una gota de orujo acostumbrada
A drop of customary pomace
Al desdén de la mar
to the disdain of the sea
Y al cabo el calendario y sus ujieres
And finally the calendar and its ushers
Disecando el oficio de soñar
Dissecting the profession of dreaming
Y la espuela en la tasca de la esquina
And the spur in the tavern on the corner
Y el vicio de olvidar
and the vice of forgetting
Por el renglón del corazón
For the line of the heart
Cada mañana descarrila un tren
Every morning a train derails
Y al terminar vuelta a empezar
And when finished start again
Dos horas después de amancer
two hours after sunrise
Tiene la vida un lánguido argumento
Life has a languid plot
Que no se acaba nunca de aprender
That you never stop learning
Sabe a licor y a luna despeinada
It tastes like liquor and a disheveled moon
Que no quita la sed
that does not quench thirst
La noche ha consumido sus botellas
The night has consumed its bottles
Dejándose un jirón en la pared
Leaving a tear on the wall
Han pasado los días como hojas
The days have passed like leaves
De libros sin leer
of unread books
