Storni, Alfonsina: Dos palabras

Portre of Storni, Alfonsina

Dos palabras (Spanish)

Esta noche al oído me has dicho dos palabras
Comunes. Dos palabras cansadas
De ser dichas. Palabras
Que de viejas son nuevas.

Dos palabras tan dulces que la luna que andaba
Filtrando entre las ramas
Se detuvo en mi boca. Tan dulces dos palabras
Que una hormiga pasea por mi cuello y no intento
Moverme para echarla.

Tan dulces dos palabras
—Que digo sin quererlo— ¡oh, qué bella, la vida!—
Tan dulces y tan mansas
Que aceites olorosos sobre el cuerpo derraman.

Tan dulces y tan bellas
Que nerviosos, mis dedos,
Se mueven hacia el cielo imitando tijeras.
Oh, mis dedos quisieran
Cortar estrellas.

Two words (English)

Tonight at my ear
you have said two simple words.
Two words tired of being said.
Words so old they are new.

Two such sweet words
that the moon dripping through the branches
lands in my mouth. So sweet
these two words that I let an ant
wander down my neck without moving.

Such sweet two words that I say
without trying-How beautiful life is!
So sweet, so tame,
they spill like aromatic oils on my body.

So sweet and so beautiful
that my nervous fingers
move toward the sky like scissors
wanting to cut out the stars.
