Borges, Jorge Luis: You are not the others (No eres los otros in English)

Portre of Borges, Jorge Luis

No eres los otros (Spanish)

No te habrá de salvar lo que dejaron

Escrito aquellos que tu miedo implora;

No eres los otros y te ves ahora

Centro del laberinto que tramaron

Tus pasos. No te salva la agonía

De Jesús o de Sócrates ni el fuerte

Siddharta de oro que aceptó la muerte

En un jardín, al declinar el día.

Polvo también es la palabra escrita

Por tu mano o el verbo pronunciado

Por tu boca. No hay lástima en el Hado

Y la noche de Dios es infinita.

Tu materia es el tiempo, el incesante

Tiempo. Eres cada solitario instante.

You are not the others (English)

The writings left behind by those whom

Your fears implore won’t have to save you;

You are not the others and you see yourself

Now at the center of the labyrinth woven

By your own steps. The agonies of Jesus or

Socrates will not save you, nor will the

Strength of Golden Siddhartha who,

At the end of the day, accepted death

In the garden. The word written

By your hand or the verb spoken

By your lips, these too are dust. Fate has no pity,

And God’s night is infinite.

Your matter is time, ceaseless

Time. You are each solitary moment.
