Omnye unyaka namhlanje Usuku lweSihobe lwaMazwe ngaMazwe kwaye akukho nto ingcono onokuyenza ngaphandle kokuyifunda. Esona simthanda kakhulu, kuye nawuphi na umbhali kunye nexesha, nangaluphi na ulwimi. Ndibakhethile Iisonethi ezi-8. Zivela Espronceda, Góngora, Unamuno, Hurtado de Mendoza, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, Carolina Coronado, Rosario Acuña kunye noFederico García Lorca. Kungenxa yokuba yonke imihla kufuneka sibeke uncedo kwiivesi ezilungileyo.
UJose de Espronceda
Entsha, echumileyo, ecocekileyo kunye nevumba elimnandi
Entsha, echumileyo, ecocekileyo nevumba elimnandi,
igala kunye nomhombiso wepensil eneentyatyambo,
ubukhali obubekwe kwisiqwenga esimileyo,
Ivumba elimnandi lisasaza i-nascent rose.
Kodwa ukuba ilanga elitshisayo ngumlilo onomsindo
ukungcangcazela kwenkanunu evuthayo,
Iphunga elimnandi kunye nombala olahlekileyo,
amagqabi ayo athwala iura ngokukhawuleza.
Ke ithamsanqa lam likhanye okomzuzwana
kumaphiko othando, kunye nelifu elihle
Ndenze ngathi inozuko kunye novuyo.
Kodwa oh! Okulungileyo kwajika kwaba bubukrakra,
kwaye ingenamagqabi emoyeni iyaphuma
intyatyambo emnandi yethemba lam.
ULuis de Gongora
Kumona
Oh inkungu lelona lizwe lizolileyo,
Umsindo wesihogo, inyoka ezelwe bububi!
Oo inyoka efihliweyo enetyhefu
Ukusuka kwindawo eluhlaza ukuya kwisifuba esimnandi!
O phakathi kwencindi yetyhefu yothando olufayo,
Kwiglasi yekristale uthatha ubomi!
Owu ikrele kum ndinenwele ebanjiweyo,
Ukusuka kwibhrikhi enothando enqabileyo!
Owu inzondelelo, yenceba yomphumeleli ongunaphakade!
Buyela kwindawo elusizi apho wawukhona,
Okanye kubukumkani (ukuba uyafaneleka apho) woyika;
Kodwa awuzukulingana apho, kuba kuninzi kakhulu
Ukuba uyazitya kwaye awugqibi,
Kuya kufuneka ubengaphezulu kwesihogo ngokwaso.
UDiego Hurtado de Mendoza
Ndiphakamise amehlo wam, ukusuka ekukhaleni ndidiniwe
Ndaphakamisa amehlo am, ekulileni ndidiniwe,
Ukubuyela ekuphumleni obefudula;
Kwaye kuba ndingambonanga apho wayehlala khona,
Ndabehlisa ndinenyembezi.
Ukuba ndithe ndafumana into elungileyo elugcinweni lwam,
Xa ndandonwabile,
Ewe, sele ndimlahlile ngenxa yam,
Isizathu kukuba ndiyakhala ngoku kabini.
Ndibeka onke amakhandlela kwi-bonanza,
Ngaphandle kokungathembani ukuqonda komntu;
Kwavela isaqhwithi,
Njengokuba umhlaba nolwandle nomlilo nomoya
Musa ukuphikisana nethemba lam,
Kwaye bohlwaya kuphela ukubandezeleka.
UMiguel de Unamuno
Ubusuku benyanga obupheleleyo
Ubusuku obumhlophe kuloo manzi acwebezelayo
ulala ehleli ebhedini yakhe yamachibi
apho inyanga epheleleyo
yintoni umkhosi weenkwenkwezi okhokelayo
ikhandlela, kunye ne-oki ejikeleziweyo
kwisipili ngaphandle kokugoba;
ubusuku obumhlophe apho amanzi asebenza khona njengomntwana
kweyona mfundiso iphezulu kwaye inzulu.
Yinyembezi evela ezulwini eyamkela
uphethe indalo ezingalweni zakhe;
Yinyembezi evela esibhakabhakeni ebuzayo
cwaka ebusuku uthandaze
umthandazo womntu othanda ukurhoxa
ukuthanda kuphela, ekuphela kobutyebi bakhe.
Sor Juana Ines De La Cruz
Iingcebiso ngokuchasa kwakhe ububi
Ngokundileqa, Mhlaba, unomdla kwintoni?
Ndikukhubekisa njani xa ndizama nje
beka ubuhle ekuqondeni kwam
Ayikuko ukuqonda kwam kwiinzwakazi?
Andixabisekanga ubuncwane okanye ubutyebi;
kwaye ke ihlala indonwabisa
ndibeke ubutyebi kwingcinga yam
hayi ukucinga kwam ngobutyebi.
Kwaye andithelekeleli ubuhle obuphelelwe lixesha,
yimpango yamaxesha,
kwaye andibuthandi ubutyebi fementida,
ukuthatha eyona nyaniso yam,
adle amampunge obomi
kunokuba ndidle ubomi emampunge.
UCarolina Coronado
Ukuhla kombethe
Iinyembezi eziphilayo zokusa okutsha,
obomi bentyatyambo bubunayo,
kwaye idlelo elinomdla phakathi kwamahlamvu liyanyuka;
Lahla ilanga kunye nemifanekiso yalo;
Oko kwibala leentyatyambo elikhohlisayo
ndinyikima zephyr encinci,
bomvu xuba umbala wakho wekhephu
noboya bayo obubomvu krwe.
Yiza udibanise nesikhalo sam,
ndikutshabalalise esidleleni sam esivuthayo;
mhlawumbi baya kubaleka kamnandi ngakumbi
iinyembezi ezikrakra endizityayo ...
kodwa yintoni ithontsi lombethe
ndilahlekile kumsinga weenyembezi zam ...!
URosario de Acuña
Ukuwa
Ilanga liwubeka umlilo phakathi kwamafu;
inkungu iphula izigqubuthelo ezingqindilili
imvula iyehla, nemisinga
yeglasi engenamanzi idlelo liqokelela.
Intaka enothando, inambuzane enothando,
baziva, okokugqibela, ukuvutha komona;
Inkonjane namantshontsho ayo.
ihlathi lihlotshiswe ngombala wegolide.
Ilapha! Ulwandle lunyusa amagwebu alo
kunye ne-acrid arhente emhlabeni ayithumela ...
Ngubani ongakuthandiyo? Phakathi kweenkungu ezipinki,
Ndithweswe isithsaba semore,
Inike i-ambrosia kwizidiliya,
ukugalela iziqhamo, ukunika iihoneyys!
UFederico Garcia Lorca
Izilonda zothando
Oku kukhanya, lo mlilo utshisayo.
Le grey imbonakalo indirhangqile.
Le ntlungu ingcinga nje.
Le ntlungu yezulu, umhlaba kunye nexesha.
Esi sililo segazi esihombisa
I-lyre ngaphandle kokubetha ngoku, iti ethambisayo.
Obu bunzima bolwandle obundibethileyo.
Le scorpion ehlala esifubeni sam.
Basisidanga sothando, umandlalo wabalimeleyo,
apho ngaphandle kokulala, ndiphupha ngobukho bakho
phakathi kwamabhodlo esifubeni sam esitshonile.
Kwaye nangona ndifuna ingqungquthela yobulumko
Intliziyo yakho indinika intlambo
ngehemlock kunye nothando lwesayensi ekrakra.
Andikwazi ukumelana.
Ndikhumbula omnye kaDon Francisco.
UFrancisco de Quevedo
Vala amehlo am okokugqibela
isithunzi, ukuba ndiyisuse imini emhlophe;
kwaye ungawukhulula lo mphefumlo wam
iyure, ekuxhalabeni kwakhe;
kodwa hayi ukusuka apha elunxwemeni
izakushiya inkumbulo apho itshise khona;
ukuqubha kuyazi ilangatye lam amanzi abandayo,
Kwaye ulahlekelwe yintlonelo ngomthetho onzima:
Umphefumlo kuye yonke intolongo uThixo abe kuyo,
Iimvumba ezihlekisayo kumlilo omninzi zinike,
amabhastile atshise ngobuqaqawuli,
baya kuwushiya umzimba wakho, hayi inkathalo yakho;
Baya kuba luthuthu, kodwa baya kuba nengqondo.
Baya kuba luthuli, nothando ngakumbi uthuli.
