Alberti, Rafael: If I was born a farmhand (Si yo nací campesino in English)
|
Si yo nací campesino (Spanish)Si yo nací campesino, si yo nací marinero, ¿por qué me tenéis aquí, si este aquí yo no lo quiero?
El mejor día, ciudad a quien jamás he querido, el mejor día – ¡silencio! – habré desaparecido.
|
If I was born a farmhand (English)If I was born a farmhand, If I was born a sailor, Why do I have to be here, If it’s not where I want to be?
On the finest day, city Which I have ever sought, The finest day – silence! – I’ll have disappeared.
