Homeland.


Morejon, Nancy


HOMELAND

 Deep down, this rocking chair brings together
 the sweet airs of the violin
 and the drumming of the little chinese box,
 all in all, the melody of the danzon
 on late Sunday aftemoons.
 The fragrance of Brindis de Salas' music
 floated on that jungle, too,
 trembling like the heart of my homeland.

PATRIA

 Este sillon enlaza en sus adentros
 los dulces aires del violin
 y los compases de la cajita china,
 en fin, la melodia del danzon
 en los atardeceres de domingo.
 E1 perfume de Brindis de Salas
 iba flotando tambien en la manigua
 temblando como el corazon de la patria.
