Inventos

(estrellas de la nieve)

Hay montañas
que quieren ser
de agua.
Y se inventan estrellas
sobre la espalda.

(nubes)

Y hay montañas
que quieren tener
alas.
Y se inventan las nubes
blancas.

– by Federico García Lorca (1921)

Inventions

(Snow stars)

There are mountains
that long to be
made of water, 
and they invent stars
to wear on their backs. 

(Clouds)

And there are mountains
that long to have
wings, 
and they invent
the white clouds

– translation by Roberta Ann Quance
