Lowry, Malcolm: Abridor de ojos (Eye-Opener in Spanish)

Portre of Lowry, Malcolm

Eye-Opener (English)

How like a man, is Man, who rises late

and gazes on his unwashed dinner plate

and gazes on the bottles, empty too,

all gulphed in last night’s loud

                                       long how-do-you-do,

– Although one glass yet holds a gruesome bate –

How like to Man is this man and his fate –

still drunk and stumbling through the rusty trees

to breakfast on stale rum sardines and peas.

Abridor de ojos (Spanish)

Cuán semejante a un hombre, es el Hombre, que se levanta tarde

Y contempla los platos sucios de la cena

Y contempla las botellas, vacías también.

Todo ello tragado durante el sordo

                 «¿Cómo estás?» sin fin de la noche anterior

-Aunque un vaso contiene todavía un refresco espantoso-

Cuán semejante al Hombre es este hombre y su destino,

Aún borracho y tropezando entre los árboles amarillentos

Va a desayunar ron picado, sardinas y guisantes.
