Camino de luna
Luis Aguirre Pinto
Moonlit Path
From Corral to Valdivia,
While the afternoon sleeps;
On a moonlit path
I'm sailing upstream.
On a moonlit path
I'm sailing upstream.
On a silver path
My boat goes over the river:
The moon is bathing
In the night and in the cold.
In the Calle Calle river
The moon is bathing;
She's bathing naked
And dressed in foam.
I'm singing by the river
While the moon bathes;
The night sings with me
And I sing with my soul.
I come from Niebla and Amargos,
And I am surprised,
Because I haven't seen clouds
Nor have I known bitterness.
In the water, whimsical
Reflections are drawn:
It's the light of the stars
That slowly fall asleep.
