O lobo

The Wolf

O lobo

For a night of centuriesPor unha noite de séculos
three fierce hounds were running,corrian tres feros galgos,
three fierce hounds of the nighttres feros galgos da noite
sharp as arrows.afiados coma dardos.
A wolf with eyes of fireUn lobo de ollos de lume
was advancing behind them;tras deles iba avanzando;
it carried light in its eyes,levaba luz nos seus ollos,
a light of long-awaited days.luz de días agardados.
Entering the land of dreams,Entrando en terra de soños,
the dreams were singing;iban os soños cantando;
Run, wolf of hopes,Corre, lobo de esperenzas,
jump over walls and fences,brinca muros e valados,
let those three hounds of the nightque eses tres galgos de noite
become defeated and enslaved.queden vencidos e escravos.
With a bridge of light, the starsPonte de luz as estrelas
shone with new strength;con nova forza alumaron;
the hounds were running well,os galgos corrian ben,
but the wolf was enragedmais o lobo iba enirado
and in a corner of fire,e nun recanto de lume,
he took them down with three slashes.matounos de tres zarpazos.
And the rivers sang in chorusE os rios cantarona coro
a song never sung before,un canto nunca cantado
the horizon opened in melodieso horizonte abríuse en cantígas
with a clear knife-like cut,por un craro navallazo,
and the sky was once againe u ceo foi outra vez
a blue and whiter sky.un ceo azul e mais branco.
