Casi Toda La Música y otros poemas/Almost All the Music and other poems Poems of love, mortality, and music by one of Spain's greatest poets Tras La Ventana, El Amor
Tras la ventana, el amor vestido de blanco, mira. Mira a la tarde, que gira sus luces y su color. La begonia sin olor sus verdes ojas estira para mirar lo que mira tras la ventana: el amor: la primavera, surgida del pico de un ruiseñor. Through The Window,Love Through the window, love dressed in white, discerns. It sees the afternoon, how it turns its light and color. The begonia with no fragrance stretches its green leaves to see what it can through the window, sees love: spring flowing from the beak of a nightingale. Casi Toda La Música and other poems/Almost All the Music and other poems is the translator's tribute to Ángel González, one of the greatest Spanish poets (from Asturias) of the twentieth century. Ángel was a friend of mine for over thirty years. He worked with me on each of these poems that deal with love, mortality, and the immortality of music.
