ALFONSINA Y EL MAR
ALFONSINA AND THE SEA
POR LA BLANDA ARENA QUE LAME EL MAR,
FOR THE SOFT SAND THAT LICKS THE SEA,
SU PEQUEÑA HUELLA NO VUELVE MÁS,
HIS SMALL FOOTPRINT DOES NOT RETURN ANYMORE,
UN SENDERO SÓLO DE PENA Y SILENCIO LLEGÓ
A PATH OF SORROW AND SILENCE ALONE CAME
HASTA EL AGUA PROFUNDA,
TO THE DEEP WATER,
UN SENDERO SÓLO DE PENAS MUDAS LLEGÓ
A PATH ONLY OF SILENT SORROWS ARRIVED
HASTA LA ESPUMA
TO THE FOAM
SABE DIOS QUE ANGUSTIA TE ACOMPAÑÓ,
GOD KNOWS THAT ANGUISH ACCOMPANIED YOU,
QUE DOLORES VIEJOS CALLÓ TU VOZ
THAT DOLORES VIEJOS SILENCED YOUR VOICE
PARA RECOSTARTE ARRULLADA EN EL CANTO
TO LIE LULLED IN THE SINGING
DE LAS CARACOLAS MARINAS,
OF SEA SHELLS,
LA CANCIÓN QUE CANTA EN EL FONDO OSCURO
THE SONG HE SINGS ON THE DARK BACKGROUND
DEL MAR, LA CARACOLA
OF THE SEA, THE CONCH
TE VAS ALFONSINA CON TU SOLEDAD,
YOU LEAVE ALFONSINA WITH YOUR LONELINESS,
QUE POEMAS NUEVOS FUISTE A BUSCAR,
WHAT NEW POEMS YOU WENT LOOKING FOR,
UNA VOZ ANTIGUA DE VIENTO Y DE SAL,
AN ANCIENT VOICE OF WIND AND SALT,
TE REQUIEBRA EL ALMA Y TE ESTA LLAMANDO,
HE BREAKS YOUR SOUL AND IS CALLING YOU,
Y TE VAS, HACIA ALLÁ, COMO EN SUEÑOS
AND YOU GO, THERE, AS IN DREAMS
DORMIDA ALFONSINA, VESTIDA DE MAR
ASLEEP ALFONSINA, DRESSED IN SEA
CINCO SIRENITAS TE LLEVARÁN,
FIVE LITTLE MERMAIDS WILL TAKE YOU,
POR CAMINOS DE ALGAS Y DE CORAL
BY SEAWEED AND CORAL PATHS
Y FOSFORESCENTES CABALLOS MARINOS HARÁN
AND PHOSPHORESCENT SEA HORSES WILL
UNA RONDA A TU LADO,
A ROUND BY YOUR SIDE,
Y LOS HABITANTES DEL AGUA VAN A JUGAR
AND THE INHABITANTS OF THE WATER ARE GOING TO PLAY
PRONTO A TU LADO
SOON BY YOUR SIDE
BÁJAME LA LÁMPARA UN POCO MÁS,
LOWER THE LAMP A LITTLE MORE,
DÉJAME QUE DUERMA NODRIZA EN PAZ
LET ME SLEEP WET NURSE IN PEACE
Y SI LLAMA ÉL, NO LE DIGAS QUE ESTOY,
AND IF HE CALLS, DON'T TELL HIM I'M,
DILE, QUE ALFONSINA NO VUELVE,
DILE, ALFONSINA IS NOT COMING BACK,
Y SI LLAMA ÉL, NO LE DIGAS NUNCA QUE ESTOY,
AND IF HE CALLS, NEVER TELL HIM I'M THERE,
DI, QUE ME HE IDO
SAY, I'M GONE
TE VAS ALFONSINA CON TU SOLEDAD
YOU LEAVE ALFONSINA WITH YOUR LONELINESS
QUE POEMAS NUEVOS FUISTE A BUSCAR,
WHAT NEW POEMS YOU WENT LOOKING FOR,
UNA VOZ ANTIGUA DE VIENTO Y DE SAL,
AN ANCIENT VOICE OF WIND AND SALT,
TE REQUIEBRA EL ALMA Y TE ESTA LLAMANDO,
HE BREAKS YOUR SOUL AND IS CALLING YOU,
Y TE VAS, HACIA ALLÁ, COMO EN SUEÑOS
AND YOU GO, THERE, AS IN DREAMS
DORMIDA ALFONSINA, VESTIDA DE MAR
ASLEEP ALFONSINA, DRESSED IN SEA
