When I'm by myself
Nobody else can say goodbye

 


    

Lograr que la luz brille un ratito más.
  

Cae la tarde, mientras tomo mate. Suenan las campanas de la parroquia, y en el cielo se funden el celeste y el rosa. Suena profundo un jazz, y en el fondo quiero que estés conmigo, acá.

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

And a rock feels no pain;
And an island never cries.

 


    

¡Salut mon ami y beacoup de bisus de ton alumna ( no me sale)!!!!
  
(Gotta love my students, haha!)
   

Des fois on pense trop.
On pense et on voit des choses terribles,
mais on voit aussi que c'est mieux
de rien faire,
de rien dire,
de rien écrire.

L'inaction
à mon secours.

Et on avance.
  

—Mirá acá, T. Fijate cuándo se usa "do" y cuándo se usa "does".
—Voy a dibujar.

Y terminamos jugando a adivinar en qué mano escondíamos el envoltorio de un bonobón diciendo "left!" o "right!".
      

Estar trabajando, con música de fondo, ver que queda una hora de trabajo y saber que vas a entregar la traducción sin problemas. Que empiece una canción de Scissor Sisters, decir en voz alta "je m'en fous", olvidarse del laburo y ponerse a bailar, comme il faut.

Dance at work. I'm happy.

   

C'est des histories
Pour faire pleurer les filles.
Je n'ose y croire,
Je ne suis plus une gamine.

 


    

Nunca había estado en un accidente automovilístico hasta hoy.

Eso es todo.

  

If you seek reality you must set yourself free of all backgrounds, of all cultures, of all patterns of thinking and feeling. Even the idea of being a man or woman, or even human, should be discarded. The ocean of life contains all, not only humans. So, first abandon all self-identification, stop thinking of yourself as such-and-such, so-and-so, this or that. Abandon all self-concern, worry not about your welfare, material or spiritual, abandon every desire, gross or subtle, stop thinking of achievement of any kind. You are complete here and now, you need absolutely nothing.

It does not mean that you must be brainless and foolhardy, improvident or indifferent; only the basic anxiety for oneself must go. You need some food, clothing and shelter for you and yours, but this will not create problems as long as greed is not taken for a need. Live in tune with things as they are and not as they are imagined.

-Nisargadatta Maharaj
  

The summer is going to end
On a rainy day like this
He packed his house and left her

Now she will stay awake
And wait for him to come
She might now wait forever

He is the summer end

She sees him run away

Outside her kitchen window

Her tears will stay awake
They made this rainy day come

She is the winter weather

 


    

Cada vez que traduzco "monitoring" como "supervisión", no puedo evitar pensar en héroes con visión superpoderosa.
