“Música Acuática” by Xánath Caraza

 

Música acuática sobre la superficie del lago

Gotas de sonidos naturales

Vibraciones de lluvia entre los pinos

Sonidos del bosque

Murmullos celestiales que perforan el lago

Tic, tic, tic, tic, tic, jiiish, jiiish

Círculos de plata en crescendo

Reflejo de nubes grises

Sinfonía de musgos y líquenes

Superficie de agua interrumpida por la música

Pasión sonora suave y abrumadora

Tic, tic, tic, tic, tic, jiiish, jiiish

Sonidos asaltando las fosas nasales

Sentidos exaltados al ritmo de la lluvia

Tic, tic, tic, tic, tic, jiiish, jiiish

Sinfonía acuática

Pintura musical

Lago impresionista

 

 

Water Music

 

Water music on the surface of the lake

Drops of natural sounds

Vibrations of rain among pine trees

Sounds of the forest

Celestial whispering that pierces the lake

Tic, tic, tic, tic, tic, hiiish, hiiish

Circles of silver in crescendo

Reflection of gray clouds

Symphony of moss and lichen

Surface of water interrupted by music

Audible passion soft and exhausting

Tic, tic, tic, tic, tic, hiiiish, hiiiish

Sounds assaulting the nose

Senses running high to the rhythm of rain

Tic, tic, tic, tic, tic, hiiiiish, hiiiish

Aquatic symphony

Musical painting

Impressionist lake

Su Müziği

 

Gölün yüzeyindeki su müziği

Doğal seslerin damlacıkları

Cam ağacı arasındaki yağmurun titreşimleri

Ormandaki sesler

Gökyüzünün fısıldaması gölleri deliyor

Tic, tic, tic, tic, tic, hiiish, hiiish

Gümüş daireler giderek artıyor

Gri bulutların yansıması

Yosunların ahengi

Müzik suyun yüzeyini titrettikçe

Yumuşakça ve çok yorgun bir ses

Tic, tic, tic, tic, tic, hiiiish, hiiiish

Sesler burnumuza saldırırken

Yağmurun ritmini daha çok duyuyoruz

Tic, tic, tic, tic, tic, hiiiiish, hiiiish

Suyun ahengi

Göldeki izlenimler

 

 

Musique aquatique

 

Musique aquatique sur la surface du lac

Gouttes de sons naturels

Vibrations de pluie entre les pins

Bruits de la forêt

Murmures célestes qui percent le lac

Tic,tic,tic, tic, tic, jiiish, jiiish

Cercles d'argent en crescendo

Reflet de nuages gris

Symphonie des mousses  et lichens

Surface de l'eau interrompue par la musique

Passion sonore douce et écrasante

Tic,tic,tic, tic, tic, jiiis

Sons assaillant les narines

Sens exaltés au rythme de la pluie

Tic,tic,tic, tic, tic, jiiish, jiiish

Symphonie aquatique
