Cesar Vallejo:

Black Roses

Bow down your head ol’ poet—

To face God’s grace ahead

There are no more trenches

To dig today…

In the forest of your head,

So—:

Bow down, bow down,

Ol’ barbaric poet!

Death rides the horse ahead

I hear the crackling of a whip

See the crazed eyes of death.

He summons you to his den—

The devil and his wind,

So—:

Bow down, bow down

Your blood stained brows

He will take you to the edge.

Closer, closer, I see you now

Eh! a moving satanic cloud—

I see a festival of black-roses,

I hear clamor in the crowd.

Bow down, bow down, Ol’ poet

…I hear your applause!

César Vallejo:

Rosas Negras

Inclina tu cabeza viejo poeta—

Para encarar la gracia de Dios adelante

No hay más trincheras

Para cavar hoy …

En el bosque de tu cabeza,

Entonces—:

Inclínate, inclínate

¡Viejo poeta barbárico!

La muerte monta el caballo adelante

Oigo el crujido de un azote

Veo los ojos enloquecidos de la muerte.

El te emplaza a su guarida—

El demonio y su viento,

Entonces—:

Inclina, inclina

Tu frente manchada de sangre

El te tomará al borde.

Más cerca, más cerca, te veo ahora

¡Ah! Como una nube móvil satánica—

Veo un festival de rosas negras,

Oigo el clamor de la muchedumbre.

Inclínate, inclínate viejo poeta

¡Oigo tus aplausos!
