Lowry, Malcolm: Felicidad (Happiness in Spanish)

Portre of Lowry, Malcolm

Happiness (English)

Blue mountains with snow and blue cold rough water,

A wild sky full of stars at rising

And Venus and the gibbous moon at sunrise,

Gulls following a motorboat against the wind,

Trees with branches rooted in air –

Sitting in the sun at noon with the furiously

Smoking shadow of the shack chimney –

Eagles drive downwind in one,

Terns blow backward,

A new kind of tobacco at eleven,

And my love returning on the four o'clock bus –

My God, why have you given this to us?

Felicidad (Spanish)

Montañas azules con nieve y agua azul, fría y turbulenta,

un cielo limpio lleno de estrellas que se alzan

y Venus y la luna en cuarto creciente al amanecer,

gaviotas que siguen a un bote a motor contra el viento,

árboles con ramas enraizadas en el aire –

sentado al sol del mediodía con la sombra

furiosamente humeante de la chimenea de la choza –

las águilas lanzándose en grupo viento abajo,

las golondrinas volando en retroceso,

una marca de tabaco nueva a las once,

y mi amor que vuelve en el autobús de las cuatro –

Dios mío, ¿por qué nos has dado todo esto?
