A Tender Agony of Parting
A craftsman pulled a reed from the reedbed, cut holes in it, and called it a human being.
Since then, it has been wailing
a tender agony of parting,
never mentioning the skill
that gave it life as a flute. |
La Tierna Agonía de su Partida
Un artesano cortó una caña del cañaveral, le hizo agujeros y la llamó un ser humano.
Desde entonces solloza la
tierna agonía de su partida,
sin nunca mencionar el talento que le dio vida como flauta.
