Paisaje
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
La tarde equivocada
se vistió de frío.

Detrás de los cristales,
turbios, todos los niños,
ven convertirse en pájaros
un árbol amarillo.

La tarde está tendida
a lo largo del río.
Y un rubor de manzana
tiembla en los tejadillos.

Landscape
Language: English  after the Spanish (Español) 
The afternoon mistakenly
got dressed in cold.

Behind the misted windows,
all the children
see a yellow tree
turn into birds.

The afternoon is stretched
along the river.
And a red flush of apple
trembles on the rooftops.
