Rufino Blanco Fombona — Ukukhethwa kwezinkondlo
izimbongi, khumbulani
Vumani, hlabelelani ukudabuka
Emphefumulweni nasehabheni labaphuphi abakhohliwe
Kusukela phansi izibuko
Oh, ukuphuza izimbongi!
Khumbula ukuthi ngelinye ilanga kanjani
Ukhiphe izinkinobho zomuzwa wokuzinikela,
elinde intombi
Ukuzalwa okujabulisayo.
Uphakamise kanjani ngezwi elimnandi,
Eduze kwesihlahla samathoyizi sikaKhisimusi esiqhakaza,
ubusuku obuhle ingoma
Enkosini esanda kuzalwa.
Uma iphuma emfudlaneni
Zizwakala njengophiyano oludabukisayo,
Imimoya yakho iphazamise inkumbulo, isivele yacisha
Kusuka kunganekwane ethile ye-Savoyard.
Elinye iPhasika, isikhathi esingenhla,
Uthando lwagqama kuqala - uthando lwe-castro lwezothando
Futhi umphefumulo wawufana nedlelo
Igcwele izimbali ezinhle.
amabhadi abukeka kabi
Njengoba isithunzi sikhona, njengekusasa lesiphithiphithi,
iphinda izinsimbi
Lapho i-hallelujah ikhala:
Khumbula, khumbula
ingoma yokufa
Lapho ngizalwa zawa zingenamaqabunga
Izimbali zokukhanya zokuntwela kokusa kokuqala;
Impilo, enothando emehlweni
Yakhala lapho ingibona: Salud, Libertadora.
Ngihamba ngomcibisholo onobuthi,
Egagasi elikhohlisayo elesabekayo.
Ngingawa njengeqhwa,
Ngiyakwazi ukubhonga njenge-panther.
Yimina sthandwa esibuhlungu:
Uthando lwami lufana nesisefo esifaka ubuthi,
Ngifana nomlingo
Futhi i-daisy ehloniphekile yaseBurgundy.
Uma ngiphenduka nezithandwa zami ezinhle,
Ungamaki izinkanuko zami njengeziguquguqukayo;
Ngokuqondene nezingane zakhe iSaturn evuthayo,
Ngiyazidla izithandwa zami.
Ngicisha ngezandla zami ezesabayo
Inkohliso, emiphefumulweni engaphumuli,
Kwabesifazane abangenalutho
Okwezimbongi ezinciphile nezincane.
Uma ngenhlanhla impilo ayinandaba
phakathi nomgwaqo uyakulahla,
Ungesabi, ngizokufuna ngihleka.
Ezindebeni ukwanga, umqhele
Ngezimbali eziwolintshi ezineqhwa ebunzini,
Ngokuneliseka ukuhleka,
Okhethiweyo owela othandweni lwami,
Lapho ulalele i-symphony yezithulu
Kusukela ku-orchestra ye-macabre evela ngaphesheya kwethuna.
Ujantshi wesitimela
O! Umakhelwane wami ompofu!
Iyiphi ekufakela iva layo kuwe
ubuhlungu; Iyiphi eyami kuwe!
Uyakhwehlela, sihambi esimhlophe;
nobuso bakho be-wax
ugebhezi oluthambile.
Uzophulukisa kuphi?
Ubani owabela usizi lwakho?
Unentshisekelo kwezobuciko
ngenxa ye-duel oyiphonsayo
lamehlo akho anamahlamvu
lapho udla usizi;
ngokwanga kwakho, hhayi ukuphiwa,
izithandwa zakho, eziphuphile,
nezinsuku zenu zibaliwe;
ngezici zakho,
indalo ekhangayo
womdwebi nemibono.
Ekuncengeni
Ngamelula iminyaka eyishumi nanhlanu
Ngiqabule umlomo wembali
nezinwele ezinsundu
ngaselwandle oludala lokucula.
-Cabanga, sithandwa, ngesithandwa,
awufuni ukungikhohlwa...
kwawa inkanyezi ezulazulayo
enkomishini yolwandle eluhlaza.
etilongweni
Isivumelwano sami siwukungahlalisani kahle
ukuthi endebeni yomnyezane neyemary,
izinyoni zivalela ingoma yazo.
Njengoba! Umoya osemaketangeni? ngokuqothuka
umoya onamandla? amajele
Zenzelwe inceku ukuba ibe nesibindi,
amadoda adla inyama nezinhliziyo zamalangabi,
icilongo elikhazimulayo lamaFama ayikhulu
kanye nenkundla eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka nezinkampani ezihloniphekile.
Ebhakedeni amabele; hhayi ama-oki.
Ngikala! I-WHO? Ngoba? UJesu wathi:
"Ungahluleli." Futhi kuyoba uhlamvu amabele
inhliziyo yami, yeka i-ventorrillero embi
yithi: "ibolile"; nasemgqomeni kadoti?
Ubulungisa abunangqondo; Ubulungiswa
Kuwukunqoba kokwesaba nobuwula:
mayelana nokungapheleli kanye nokuba nesibindi.
Ibhubesi malibhonge, lungakafiki usuku;
lapho abelusi begawula intaba.
Ukwesaba, okuhlala endlini,
sesabe isilo esinemihlwenga yegolide.
Futhi unciphisa ukwesaba kwakhe nobudlova bakhe,
Uhlela ukushintsha amahlathi abe izingadi.
Impi yokufa
Izwe lakubo esiphambanweni kanye nemithambo ephukile,
liyacwebezela, ligcwele amarubi
imikhankaso yonke iyizimbali zodonga
ama-egrets abomvu, nabomvu.
Ngabe ababukeki njengezinkulungwane zabantu abathanda izwe
emazinyweni ezingulube zasendle ze-hispanic?
Abavezi yini amakhanda abomvu tebhu
ukubhoboza, ngama-barbarous pillories?
Futhi kwenzeka isenzakalo sasezulwini
ukusa entshonalanga
I-Bolívar e-Andes kwakubonakala;
Nesiphepho samagagasi ansundu
ethuneni bazungeza ngalolo suku
amakhulu ayisishiyagalombili amakhanda Spanish.
izinto zekhofi
Ubusuku babunenkungu. adabukisayo, amakhaza
ebusuku wamema melancholy.
Mina, ngingazi ukuthi kungani, ngangidabukile.
Umbhangqwana osemusha, ngemva kwami, wawuxabana...
Bahlukana. Futhi bahlukana ngaphandle kwenhlonipho
ukuzenza isikhashana senzondo, noma ukudangala.
Mina, ngingazi ukuthi kungani, ngangidabukile.
