El Gigante De Ojos Azules
Juan Carlos Baglietto
The Giant With Blue Eyes
A giant with blue eyes
loved a small woman
whose dream was a little house
small just for her
that had a garden on her forehead
a garden with honeysuckles.
A giant with blue eyes
loved a small woman
who very soon got tired
of such an immense task
that didn't end in gardens
gardens with honeysuckles.
Goodbye blue eyes, she said,
And with grace, she did a somersault
from the arm of a rich dwarf
she entered the little house
that had a garden on the front
a garden with honeysuckles.
The giant now understands
that loves of such greatness
cannot even fit, not even dead,
in those dollhouses
that have gardens on the front
gardens with honeysuckles.
