En mi sangre
quizá llevo mezclado
by Carlos Bousoño, 1923, Spain
En mi sangre quizá llevo mezclado
el cielo azul de las nubes ligeras,
inconsútil espacio deleitoso
en donde la luz reina,
porque allá por el fondo de mi vida,
cual blanca luz que delicada tiembla,
a veces pasa, con secreto dulce,
toda la errante primavera.
Perhaps it runs in my blood
by Carlos Bousoño, 1923, Spain
Perhaps it runs in my blood
the blue sky with its light clouds,
seamless delightful space
where the light reigns,
for
there in the depths of my life,
such white light delicately trembles,
sometimes, with secret sweet,
the whole of spring passes by.
