Often, to pass the time on board, the crew
will catch an albatross, one of those big birds
which nonchalantly chaperone a ship
across the bitter fathoms of the sea.
Tied to the deck, this sovereign of space,
as if embarrassed by its clumsiness,
pitiably lets its great white wings
drag its sides like a pair of unshipped oars.
How weak and awkward, even comical
this traveller but lately so adroit -
one deckhand sticks a pipestem in its beak,
another mocks the cripple that once flew!
The Poet is like this monarch of the clouds
riding the storm above the marksman's range;
exiled on the ground, hooted and jeered,
he cannot walk because of his great wings.

ஒரு பழைய ஸ்பானிஷ் காதல் பாட்டு #ஆங்கிலம் #லோர்க்கா
An Old Spanish Love Song
'If you are my sweetheart, why won't you look at me, pray?'
'Eyes I had to look at thee, to the shadow I gave them.'
'If you are my sweetheart, why won't you kiss me, pray?'
'Lips I had to kiss thee, to the earth I gave them.'
'If you are my sweetheart, why won't you embrace me, pray?'
'Arms I had to embrace thee, with worms I covered them.'
- Federico Garcia Lorca

எல்லாம் ஒரு நம்பிக்கைதான் (Goethe கவிதை)
On all hilltops
There is peace,
In all treetops
You will hear
Hardly a breath.
Birds in the woods are silent.
Just wait, soon
You too will rest.
There is peace,
In all treetops
You will hear
Hardly a breath.
Birds in the woods are silent.
Just wait, soon
You too will rest.
