Fugaz (gl – en)

Pasa unha ave maxestosa
no aire que despraza arrastra
a nosa fascinación
remotamente son consciente
do extraordinario deste intre 

na superficie seguen as agullas
cizallando os minutos 
mentres en ignotos páramos da conciencia
paseniño vai medrando a importancia
que este feito terá no resto das nosas vidas

o grandioso evento 
que nos colleu ocupados 
nos labores do reloxo
ocupará o imaxinario 
até á fin

Fleeting

A majestic bird passes
in the air it displaces, carries
our fascination away
I am dimly aware
of the extraordinary nature of this moment

on the surface, the hands go on
shearing the minutes
while in the unknown wastelands of consciousness
slowly, slowly, the importance grows
that this fact will have
for the rest of our lives

the grand event
that caught us busy
with the workings of the clock
will occupy the imagination
until our end
