Antonio Machado -Dice la esperanza-

Dice la esperanza

Dice la esperanza: un día
la verás, si bien esperas.
Dice la desesperanza:
sólo tu amargura es ella.
Late, corazón... No todo
se lo ha tragado la tierra.


Hope says

Hope says: One day
you will see her, if you wait well.
Says despair:
She is only your bitterness.
Beat, my heart... Not all
has been swallowed by the earth.
