Nostalgia del Presente (J.L.B., trans. E.A.C.)

Present Nostalgia

At that precise moment
the man said:
What wouldn't I give for the happiness
of being by your side in Iceland
beneath a great motionless day,
and to share this moment with you
the way I would music or the flavor of a fruit.
And at that moment
the man was with her
and together they were in Iceland.

Nostalgia del Presente

En aquel preciso momento el hombre se dijo:
Que no daria yo por la dicha
de estar a tu lado en Islandia
bajo el gran dia inmovil
y de compartir el ahora
como se comparte la musica
o el sabor de una fruta.
En aquel preciso momento
el hombre estaba junto a ella en Islandia.
