Alberti, Rafael: The Cry (Pregón in English)

Portre of Alberti, Rafael

Pregón (Spanish)

¡Vendo nubes de colores:

las redondas, coloradas,

para endulzar los calores!

 

¡Vendo los cirros morados

y rosas, las alboradas,

los crepúsculos dorados!

 

¡El amarillo lucero,

cogido a la verde rama

del celeste duraznero!

 

¡Vendo la nieve, la llama

y el canto del pregonero!

The Cry (English)

I sell clouds of colours,

Ellipses, reddened

To temper the heat!

 

I sell purple cirrus,

And pink, dawns

And golden sunsets!

 

The yellow star

Of the heavenly peach

Caught in the green branches,

 

I sell the snow, the flame,

And the song of the crier.
