AYER, TE VÍ

Ayer te ví por mi portal
esa luna luminosa
toda vestida de plata
reflejando su brillo
sobre el riachuelo dormido
que besaba sin cesar
el húmedo camino.

Ayer te ví sin querer, te vi
esa noche estrellada
luceros que se miraban
sobre el espajo del pozo
así como tus ojos nocturnos
se entregaban a la sabana.

Si, fui siguiendo la huella
que dejabas en silencio
por los caminos floridos
de aquella calle colorida
entre sus franjas dormía
el sueño de los grillos.

Me esmeré por no perderte
entre el cañaveral alegre
que batía la brisa
entre la frescura y el aroma
paseabas con tu sonrisa
esperando tu saludo.

YESTERDAY, I SAW YOU

Yesterday I saw you in my doorway
that luminous moon
all dressed in silver
reflecting its brightness
on the sleeping stream
that kissed incessantly
the damp path.

Yesterday I saw you without wanting to, I saw you
that starry night
stars that looked at each other
over the mirror of the well
just as your nocturnal eyes
surrendered to the savannah.

Yes, I followed the trail
that you left in silence
along the flowery paths
of that colorful street
between its stripes slept
the sleep of the crickets.

I tried hard not to lose you
among the cheerful cane field
that the breeze beat
between the freshness and the aroma
you walked with your smile
waiting for your greeting.
