Шествие Дедов Морозов...Desfile de Santa Claus








Verte desnuda es recordar la tierra.. F.G.Lorca..To turn out to be naked is to remember the ground


Verte desnuda es recordar la tierra,
la tierra lisa, limpia de caballos.
La tierra sin un junco, forma pura .
Cerrada al provenir, confin de plata.


Verte desnuda es comprender el ansia
de la lluvia que busca el debil talle,
o de la fiebre del mar de inmenso rostro,
sin encontrar la luz de su mejilla.

La sangre sonara por las alcobas
y vendrá con espadas fulgurantes,
pero tu no sabrás donde se ocultan,
el corazon de sapo o la violeta.

Tu vientre es una lucha de raices,
tus labios son un alba sin contorno,
bajo las rosas tibias de la cama,
los muertos gimen esperando turno.


To turn out to be naked is to remember the ground,
the smooth, clean horses ground.
The ground without a reed, pure form.
Closed on having come, silver limit.

To turn out to be naked is to understand the avidity
of the rain that looks for the weak size,
or of the fever of the sea of immense face,
without finding the light of its cheek.

The blood will sound for the bedrooms
and it will come with shining swords,
but you will not know where they hide,
the heart of toad or the violet.

Your belly is a roots struggle,
your lips are a dawn without outline,
under the lukewarm roses of the bed,
the dead persons wail waiting for shift.

научи меня жить..Teach me how to live


научи меня жить, по дыханью, по нотам,
без суждений и боли, падений и взлетов.
и в густой суете прошепчи мое имя,
чтоб на сердце усталом расплавился иней…

научи меня жить, губ, касаясь губами,
чтобы стало прочней все, что есть между нами.
разжигая огонь, не бояться пожара –
мы с тобою вдвоем, мы с тобою недаром…

научи меня жить, я тебе доверяю
это сердце, а в нем – чем дышу, чем страдаю.
позови меня вдаль, где никто не услышит,
там, где ветер седой вдохновением дышит…

научи меня жить, научи, ты же можешь,
и я стану другим, сбросив старые кожи.
разобьются века о тяжелые своды,
но мы будем вдвоем оживать год за годом…

научи меня жить, обними еще крепче –
и забудется все, и дышать станет легче…
я не знаю, что там, за завесою буден,
но я буду любить…

как бы путь ни был труден…

Vera Lojedo Marcos


Teach me how to live, to breath, music,
Without judgement and pain, ups and downs.
And in the life of the thick whisper my name,
So my heart melted tired , frost...


Teach me how to live, lips, referring to the lips,
To make things a lot easier all there is between us.
Fueling the fire, don't be afraid of fire -
We are with you two, we are with you for a reason...

Teach me how to live, I trust you
It's the heart, but it is what I breathe than suffer.
Call me away, far away, where no one will hear,
Where the wind gray inspiration is breathing...

Teach me how to live, teach, you can do this.
And I'm going to be different, dropping the old skin.
Crushed the century heavy sets,
But we're gonna be the two of us to thrive, year after year...

Teach me how to live, hug tighter -
And all will be forgotten, and will breathe easier...
I don't know what's out there, the veil, Boden
But I'm going to love...


No matter how difficult the path...
