O meu neno voluntarioso (gl – en)

Grazas á capa de formigón 
que cobre este vasto território 
xa non temos que nos ocupar máis 
das herbas invasoras, nin das outras

Abaixo desta capa quedaron sepultadas 
as maceiras, os galiñeiros, o fouciño
podemos adicar as horas a viaxar 
a superfície lisa, weed-free das pantallas

Abaixo do que está máis abaixo 
apañando mazás, recollendo ovos
abríndose camiño entre a herba
perdeuse o meu neno voluntarioso

My wilful boy

Thanks to the layer of concrete 
that cover this vast territory 
we no longer have to worry about 
invasive weeds, or any grass

Beneath this layer were buried 
apple trees, chicken coops, the sickle
now we can spend hours traveling 
the screens’ smooth weed-free surface

Underneath what is below 
picking apples, gathering eggs 
making his way through the grass 
my wilful boy was lost
