SUEÑO DE OTRAS NOCHES
DREAM OF OTHER NIGHTS

By Paul Hertelendy
of TheColumnists.com
Estoy soñando
Del sonido
Tan encantador,
¿Te acuerdas?
Cuando ruiseñores cantan
En la noche húmeda,
Haciéndome pensar,
La vez pasada caminando
Cerca de la catarata tan tranquila
En senderos suaves y aislados
Con mi gran amor descalzo.

 

(TRANSLATION)
DREAM OF OTHER NIGHTS


I dream of those enchanting sounds---
Do you remember?---
When nightingales are singing in the humid night
I think of times before, while walking
Barefoot
Near the tranquil waterfall
On trails so soft, so isolated
With my one and only love.
