Antes de que la aurora colme con sus aromas embriagantes

las costas africanas, con un trazo de fuego el sol

ha parpadeado sobre la rosa, sublime instante

que nos recuerda que la vida solo es aquí y ahora.

2

Andares y anhelos sobre los caminos polvorientos

del Sáhara, cielos teñidos de plegarias cuando cae la tarde

y sombras de pájaros en vuelo como las almas

que van errantes por el misterio de la vida.

Translación in English

1

Before the dawn fills with its intoxicating fragances

the African coasts, with a trace of fire the sun

has flickered on the rose, sublime moment

that reminds us that life is only here and now.

2

Walking and longing on the dusty roads of the Sahara,

skies dyed with prayers when evening falls

and shadows of birds in flight like the souls

that wander through the mystery of life.
