Amo Amor
Por: Gabriela Mistral

Anda libre en el surco, bate el ala en el viento,
late vivo en el sol y se prende al pinar.
No te vale olvidarlo como al mal pensamiento:
¡letendrás que escuchar!

Habla lengua de bronce y habla lengua de ave,
ruegos tímidos, imperativos de mar.
No te vale ponerle gesto audaz, ceño grave:
¡lo tendrás que hospedar!

Gastatrazas de dueño; no le ablandan excusas.
Rasga vasos de flor, hiende el hondo glaciar.
No te vale decirle que albergarlo rehúsas:
¡lo tendrás que hospedar!

Tiene argucias sutiles en laréplica fina,
argumentos de sabio, pero en voz de mujer.
Ciencia humana te salva, menos ciencia divina:
¡le tendrás que creer!

Te echa venda de lino; tú la venda toleras.
Te ofreceel brazo cálido, no le sabes huir.
Echa a andar, tú le sigues hechizada aunque vieras
¡que eso para en morir!

Mistress of Love

Walk free en the wake, flapping your wing in thewind,
Beating alive in the sun and setting fire to the pine forest.
Don’t forget it like a bad thought
You will have it to listen to!

Speak the language of bronze and speak the languageof dove,
Timid pleas, imperative of the sea
You don’t have to use that audacious gesture, that grave frown:
You will have it to put up.

Use up the looks of the owner; they don’tsoften the excuses.
Rip vases of flower, hiende the deep/profound glacier.
You don’t have to say that you refuse to accommodate:
You will have it to put up!

She has subtle ruses inthe fine replica,
Wise arguments, but in the voice of a woman.
Human science saves you , less than divine science:
You will have it to believe!

Lie yourself down wrapped in linen; youtolerate the elastic bandage.
You offer your warm arm, you don’t know how to escape.
Throw, you continue to captivate/bewitch/charm although you see
That this is for/in death!
