Desiderata
Camina plácido entre el ruido y la prisa
Y piensa en la paz que se puede encontrar en el silencio
En cuanto sea posible y sin rendirte
Mantén buenas relaciones con todas las personas
Enuncia tu verdad en una manera serena y clara
Y escucha a los demás, incluso al torpe e ignorante
También ellos tienen su propia historia
Esquiva a las personas ruidosas y agresivas
Pues son un fastidio para el espíritu
Si te comparas con los demás, te volverás vano y amargado
Pues siempre habrá personas más grandes y más pequeñas que tu
You are a child of the universe
No less than the trees and the stars
You have the right to be here
Whether or not is it clear for you
The universe is unfolding as it should
Disfruta de tus éxitos lo mismo que de tus planes
Mantén el interés en tu propia carrera, por humilde que sea
Ella es un verdadero tesoro en el fortuito cambiar de los tiempos
Sé cauto en tus negocios, pues el mundo está lleno de engaños
Más no dejes que esto te vuelva ciego para la virtud que existe
Hay muchas personas que se esfuerzan por alcanzar nobles ideales
La vida está llena de heroísmo
Sé sincero contigo mismo, en especial no finjas el afecto
Y no seas cínico en el amor, pues en medio de todas las arideces y desengaños
Es perenne como la hierba
Acata dócilmente el consejo de los años
Abandonando con donaire las cosas de la juventud
Cultiva la firmeza del espíritu para que te proteja en las adversidades repentinas
Muchos temores nacen de la fatiga y la soledad
Sobre una sana disciplina, sé benigno contigo mismo
Tú eres una criatura del universo
No menos que las plantas y las estrellas
Tienes derecho a existir
Y sea que te resulte claro o no
Indudablemente, el universo marcha como debiera
Por eso
Debes estar en paz con Dios, cualquier que sea tu idea de Él
Y sean cualquiera tus trabajos y aspiraciones
Conserva la paz con tu alma en la bulliciosa confusión de la vida
Aún con toda su farsa, penalidades y sueños fallidos
El mundo es todavía hermoso
Sé cauto, esfuérzate por ser feliz
You are a child of the universe
No less than the trees and the stars
You have the right to be here
You are a child of the universe
No less than the trees and the stars
You have the right to be here
You are a child of the universe
No less than the trees and the stars
You have the right to be here
Desiderata
Walk placidly among the noise and haste
And think of the peace that can be found in silence
As soon as possible and without giving up
Maintain good relationships with all people
Enunciate your truth in a calm and clear manner
And listen to others, even the clumsy and ignorant
They also have their own story
Avoid loud and aggressive people
Well, they are a nuisance to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you will become vain and bitter
Well there will always be people bigger and smaller than you.
You are a child of the universe
No less than the trees and the stars
You have the right to be here
Whether or not it is clear for you
The universe is unfolding as it should
Enjoy your successes as well as your plans
Stay interested in your own career, no matter how humble it may be.
She is a true treasure in the fortuitous change of times.
Be cautious in your business, because the world is full of deceptions
But don't let this make you blind to the virtue that exists
There are many people who strive to achieve noble ideals
Life is full of heroism
Be honest with yourself, especially don't fake affection.
And do not be cynical in love, because in the midst of all the aridity and disappointments
It is perennial like grass
Docilely obey the advice of the years
Gracefully abandoning the things of youth
Cultivate firmness of spirit to protect you in sudden adversities
Many fears are born from the fatigue and the loneliness
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself
You are a child of the universe
No less than the plants and the stars
You have the right to exist
And whether it's clear to you or not
Undoubtedly, the universe works as it should
That's why
You must be at peace with God, whatever your idea of Him is.
And whatever your jobs and aspirations are
Keep peace with your soul in the bustling confusion of life
Even with all its farce, hardships and failed dreams
The world is still beautiful
Be cautious, strive to be happy
You are a child of the universe
No less than the trees and the stars
You have the right to be here
You are a child of the universe
No less than the trees and the stars
You have the right to be here
You are a child of the universe
No less than the trees and the stars
You have the right to be here
