Baila al son que te toquen
La vida es dura
ingéniatelas sutilmente
y baja las persianas de la voz
diciendo lo necesario
para no complicar
para no herir susceptibilidades
para no socavar los intereses del lucro
Baja la guardia de los relámpagos
para que la tormenta no se desate
Víctor Valera Mora
Cartas a un viejo Narciso (1964)
Life is hard
be subtly creative
and lower the blinds of your voice
saying only what is necessary
in order not to complicate
nor to offend sensibilities
not to undermine the interests of profit
Lower the guard to lightning
so that the storm will not break
be subtly creative
and lower the blinds of your voice
saying only what is necessary
in order not to complicate
nor to offend sensibilities
not to undermine the interests of profit
Lower the guard to lightning
so that the storm will not break
Víctor Valera Mora
Letters to an old Narcisus (1964)
