UCesar Vallejo—Pii-oms ezikhethiweyo
Imbongi kwintanda yakhe
Sithandwa, ngobu busuku uzibethelele emnqamlezweni
phezu kwemiqadi emibini ejingayo yokwanga kwam;
kwaye usizi lwakho lundixelele ukuba uYesu ukhale,
kwaye kukho uLwesihlanu olungileyo omnandi kunaloo kiss.
Ngobu busuku obucacileyo undijonge kakhulu,
Ukufa bekumnandi kwaye kucula emathanjeni akhe.
Ngobu busuku bukaSeptemba iye yaqhuba
ukuwa kwam okwesibini kunye nokuncamisa kakhulu komntu.
Zintanda, siya kufa sobabini kunye kakhulu;
ubukrakra bethu obuphakamileyo buya koma ngokuthe ngcembe;
kwaye imilebe yethu yabangasekhoyo iya kube ichukumise isithunzi.
Akusayi kuba sabakho lungcikivo emehlweni akho asikelelweyo;
Andiyi kuphinda ndikukhubekise. nasengcwabeni
Solala sobabini, njengabantakwethu ababini.
buxoki
Ubuxoki. Ukuba ebeqhatha,
kwaye akukho okunye. Yiyo leyo. Okanye,
nawe uya kubona
izobabuhlungu kangakanani kum into enje.
Ubuxoki. Thula.
Ngoku kulungile.
Njengamanye amaxesha wenza okufanayo kum,
kodwa nam ndiye ndaba njalo.
Kum, ngubani othe wakroba kakhulu ukuba nyani
ubulila,
ekubeni ngamanye amaxesha uhlala nje
kwiiposti zakho ezimnandi,
kum, ongazange aphuphe nokuba ukholiwe;
Iinyembezi zakho zindoyisile.
Yenziwe.
Kodwa sele uyazi: yayibubuxoki yonke loo nto.
Kwaye ukuba uhlala ulila, kulungile ke!
Kwakhona akufuneki nokuba ndikubone xa udlala.
ukukhanya okuphakathi
Ndiphuphe ndibaleka. ndaphupha
Ilayisi yakho ethe saa kwigumbi lokulala.
Ecaleni kwenqanawa, umama othile;
iminyaka yakhe elishumi elinantlanu ebencancisa ilixa elinye.
Ndiphuphe ndibaleka. A "ngonaphakade"
wancwina ngokwemilinganiselo yesaphetha;
Ndiphuphe umama;
imifuno emitsha,
kunye neenkwenkwezi ze-trousseau ye-aurora.
Ngaphakathi kwe pier...
Kwaye ecaleni kwentamo erhaxwayo.
Akukho
Akukho! Kusasa oko ndihambayo
Ukuya kude, kwiMfihlakalo,
njengokulandela umgca ongenakuphepheka,
iinyawo zakho ziya kutyibilika ziye emangcwabeni.
Akukho! Ngentsasa elandelayo ndiye elwandle
ukusuka elwandle lomthunzi kunye nobukumkani obuzolileyo,
Njengentaka edakumbileyo ndihamba,
oothixo abamhlophe baya kuba ekuthinjweni kwakho.
Kuya kuba bubusuku emehlweni akho;
kwaye uya kuva ubunzima, uze emva koko uthabathe
Abamhlophe abazisolayo baqaqanjelwa.
Ungekho! Nakwiimbandezelo zakho
Kufuneka ndinqumle phakathi kwesikhalo sebronzi
ipakethi yokuzisola!

Ndingathanda ukunkqonkqoza kuzo zonke iingcango,
kwaye ndibuze andazi ukuba ngubani; kwaye kamva
khangelani amahlwempu, nikhale kancinane;
nika wonke umntu amasuntswana esonka esitsha.
Kwaye baphange izityebi nezidiliya zabo
ngezandla ezingcwele ezibini
ukuba ngokubetha ukukhanya
Babhabha bengenazikhonkwane emnqamlezweni!
I-eyelash yasekuseni, ungavuki!
Siphe isonka sethu semihla ngemihla;
Mhlekazi...!
Onke amathambo am asemzini;

Ndilisela elibi… Ndiza kuya phi!
Kwaye ngale yure ibandayo, xa umhlaba

Ndingathanda ukunkqonkqoza kuzo zonke iingcango,
kwaye ndicela andazi ukuba ngubani, uxolo,
kwaye umenzele amaqhekezana esonka esitsha
apha, ezikweni lentliziyo yam...!
