Why did you ring the bells today?
Why have you left the alleys that saw you
spend day after day?
Why have you left, friend Federico?
Why does Cuenca remain without a poet?
Asleep
under the willows of the passing river;
Under the murmur of the wind, the house
of a poet from my city.
Blissful
the wild loneliness that he enjoys,
under the happy compass of the leaves
of the poplars, when the wind blows.
Poet you sing to my city, listen to my voice
and tell me if I can, serve as troubadour;
because in your poems my voice trembles
and recreates,
thinking about that corner
of our land.
morning
I will listen to bend the bells
and from our city, the windows
They will give you their laurel goodbye.
Poet
the wind will carry my sadness;
I will cover my rosebush and my ivy,
with a purple crepe shroud.
Poet you are looking for another place on the clouds;
neglect that your rosebush will never wither
and in every alley of your city, in every stone
hidden in every corner,
there will be a poem, asleep
under the willows of the passing river;
Under the murmur of the wind and your house,
poet of my city.
Only among all we can make this a better place :)
