Octavio Paz -Coda-

Coda

Quizas para gustar debe aprender
a andar por este mundo.
Aprender a ser silencioso
como el roble y el tilo de la fabula.
Aprender a ver.
Su vistazo disperso semillas.
Esto planto un arbol.

Hablo
porque usted sacude sus hojas.


Coda

Perhaps to love is to learn
to walk through this world.
To learn to be silent
like the oak and the linden of the fable.
To learn to see.
Your glance scattered seeds.
It planted a tree.

I talk
because you shake its leaves.
