Un Gigante Que Despierta

A Giant Awakens

Un Gigante Que Despierta

It carriesLleva
Through this land it passedPor esta tierra pasó
The flint and honey passedEl pedernal y la miel pasó
The gold, the jade passedEl oro, el jade pasó
But nothing stayedPero nada se quedó

Only the lastingSolo quedó el duradero
Residue of the languageResiduo de la lengua
Miskitos, Sumos, and RamasMiskitos, sumos y ramas
That along with the Creole remainedQue junto al criollo se quedó

Where there were no citiesDonde no hubo ciudades
Nor ceremonial temples remainedNi templos ceremoniales quedó
Only remainedSolamente se quedó
The yucca and the peach palm remainedLa yuca y el pijebaye quedó
Between blasphemies and prayers in English and SpanishEntre blasfemias y rezos del inglés y del español
A country different from mine was born in my own heartUn país distinto al mío nació en mi propio corazón
