UNDER THE FIG TREE

Although I look for you
and don't find you…
although the night is over
and I don't feel you,
although the wound bleeds
and I hasn't you,
although we went there
and I didn't see you,
although…
under the fig tree…!

///

DEBAIXO DA FIGUEIRA

Embora te procure
e não te encontre…
embora a noite acabe
e não te sinta,
embora a ferida sangre
e não te possua,
embora tenhamos lá ido
e não te visse,
embora…
debaixo da figueira…!

///

BAJO LA HIGUERA

Aunque te busque
y no te encuentre…
aunque la noche pase
y no te sienta,
aunque la herida sangre
y no te tenga,
aunque allí uno fuimos
y no te vea,
aunque…
bajo la higuera…!
