Dellos talanten
qu’esti mundiu alloriáu
d’anguañu
yá escosó
la vieya fonte sagrada
de la poesía,
la mesma fonte
na que chumaren
abenayá
Homeru y Píndaru
y los bardos celtes,
pero les metáfores
entá guñen perdayuri,
comu la moruxa.
La teunoloxía
fexo’l mundiu más chicu,
sicasí, les llendes
cada vegada son más altes.
Some think
that this crazy world
has already exhausted
the ancient sacred fountain
of poetry,
the same fountain
in which have drunk
a long time ago
Homer and Pindaro
and the Celtic bards,
but metaphors
sprout everywhere,
like the bad weed.
Technology
has made the world
smaller,
even so, the boundaries
are increasingly
higher.
