URufino Blanco Fombona — Ukukhethwa kwemibongo
iimbongi, khumbulani
Vumani, culani unxunguphalo
Empefumlweni nasehadini labaphuphi abalityalwayo
Ukusuka ngaphantsi kweeglasi
Hayi, ukusela iimbongi!
Khumbula indlela ngenye imini
Ucofe amaqhosha emvakalelo yobuthixo,
elinde intombi
Ukuzalwa okuvuyisayo.
Uliphakamise njani ilizwi elimnandi,
Ecaleni komthi wokudlala weKrisimesi oqhakaza,
ubusuku obuhle ingoma
Kwinkosi esandul' ukuzalwa.
Ukuba ivela kumsinga
Zivakala njengepiyano elusizi,
Imimoya yakho iphazamise inkumbulo, sele icinyiwe
Ukusuka kwibali elithile leSavoyard.
Enye iPasika, ixesha elingasentla,
Uthando lwavuka kuqala - uthando lwe-castro lwezothando
Kwaye umphefumlo wawufana nedlelo
Igcwele iintyatyambo ezithandekayo.
amabhadi akhangeleka kakubi
Njengoko isithunzi sikhoyo, njengekamva lesiphithiphithi,
uphinda iintsimbi
Xa i-haleluya ikhala:
Khumbula, khumbula
ingoma yokufa
Ukuzalwa kwam zawa zingenamagqabi
Iirozi zokukhanya zesifingo sokuqala;
Ubomi, ngothando emehlweni
Wakhala xa endibona: Salud, Libertadora.
Ndihamba ngotolo olunetyhefu,
Kwiliza lobuqhophololo eloyikekayo.
Ndingawa njengekhephu,
Ndiyakwazi ukugquma okwepanther.
Ndim lo sithandwa sibuhlungu:
Uthando lwam lufana nesihluzo esityhefa,
Ndifana nomlingo
Kwaye i-daisy ehloniphekileyo yaseBurgundy.
Ukuba ndijika kunye nezithandwa zam ezilungileyo,
Musa ukuyichaza inkanuko yam;
Ngokuphathelele kubantwana bakhe iSaturn enomsindo,
Ndiyazidla izithandwa zam.
Ndicima ngezandla zam ezoyikayo
Inkohliso, kwimiphefumlo engaphumliyo,
Yabafazi abangenangqondo
Yeembongi ezincinanana neziselula.
Ukuba ngengozi ubomi ukungakhathali
uthi esazulwini sendlela uyakulahla;
Musa ukoyika, ndiya kukukhangela ndihleka;
Emilebeni ukwanga, isithsaba
Kwiintyatyambo eziorenji ezinekhephu ebunzi,
Ukuhleka ngokukhululeka,
Onyuliweyo ozinikele eluthandweni lwam,
Xa uphulaphule i-symphony yezithulu
Ukusuka kwiokhestra ye-macabre evela ngaphaya kwengcwaba.
Uloliwe
Owu! Ummelwane wam olihlwempu!
Yiyiphi ifaka iliva lakho kuwe
intlungu; Yeyiphi eyam wena!
Uyakhohlela, mhambi omhlophe;
kunye nobuso bakho obumnyama
lukakayi oluthambileyo.
Uya kuphiliswa phi?
Ngubani owabelana ngosizi lwakho?
Ndinomdla kubugcisa
ngenxa yeduel oyiphosayo
kwamehlo akho anamagqabi
apho uhlala khona ukubandezeleka;
ngenxa yokwangiwa kwakho,
uthando lwakho, waphupha,
nemihla yakho ibaliwe;
ngeempawu zakho,
izinto ezithandekayo
womzobi kunye nemibono.
Ekungqiba
Ndayolula iminyaka yakhe elishumi elinesihlanu
Ndancamisa umlomo wentyatyambo
kunye neenwele ezimdaka
ngaselwandle oludala oluculayo.
-Cinga, zintanda, ngesithandwa,
awufuni ukundilibala...
kwawa inkwenkwezi ebhadulayo
kwindebe eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka yolwandle.
ukusuka emhadini
Imvumelwano yam kukungavisisani okukrwada
ukuba kwindebe yomngcunube neyemary,
iintaka ziyatshisa ngokuntyiloza kwazo.
Njengokuba! Umoya osematyaleni? ekubhanga
umoya onamandla? iintolongo
Zezomkhonzi ukuba abe neentsana ezinobukroti;
amadoda amaxhoba neentliziyo zamadangatye;
ixilongo elizukileyo lekhulu leFamas
kunye nentsimi eluhlaza kunye neenkampani ezihloniphekileyo.
Ingqolowa yaba yingqolowa; hayi imioki.
Ndilinganise! I-WHO? Ngoba? UYesu wathi:
Musani ukugweba. Kwaye iya kuba yingqolowa yemazi
intliziyo yam, yeka into embi kangaka
yithi: "ibolile"; nakumgqomo wenkunkuma?
Ubulungisa bubudenge; Ubulungisa
Luloyiso loloyiko kunye nobudenge:
malunga nokungafezeki kunye nokuba nesibindi.
Mayigqume ingonyama, ingekafiki imini;
apho abelusi bagawula intaba.
Uloyiko, oluhlala kwi-cabin,
Yoyikani irhamncwa elineemane zegolide.
Kwaye wadambisa uloyiko lwakhe nobugwenxa bakhe,
Uceba ukutshintsha amahlathi abe zizitiya.
Imfazwe kuse ekufeni
Ilizwe lasekhaya emnqamlezweni kunye nemithambo ephukileyo,
ukumenyezela, kugcwele iirubhi
amaphulo onke ziintyatyambo
ezibomvu, nezibomvu egrets.
Ngaba abakhangeleki njengamawakawaka abantu abathanda ilizwe labo
kumazinyo eehagu zasendle?
Ngaba azivezi iintloko ezibomvu ngokubomvu
ukubetha, kwiipilori ezikhohlakeleyo?
Kwaye kwenzeka isiganeko sasezulwini
kwasa entshonalanga
I-Bolívar kwi-Andes yayibonakala;
Nesiphango samaza aluhlaza
Engcwabeni bayingqonga ngaloo mini
amakhulu asibhozo iintloko Spanish.
izinto zekofu
Ubusuku babunenkungu. lusizi, kubanda
ebusuku wamema melancholy.
Mna, ndingazi ukuba kutheni, ndaba buhlungu.
Isibini esiselula, emva kwam, sasixabene...
Bohlukana. Kwaye bahlukana ngaphandle kwembeko
ukwenza ngathi umzuzwana wentiyo, okanye ukucaphuka.
Mna, ndingazi ukuba kutheni, ndaba buhlungu.
