Ella ha salido a ver el sol (Carmen)

She went out to see the sun,
And through the bars of her balcony
Her white clothes are like a sea
Of foam in the wind, fluttering.
Among the sweet shapes
Of your intimacies,
Castles and cities
Awaken and drown me.
Carmen, all my fifteen years are for you;
Carmen, my adolescence, the happiest fire;
Carmen, if I had dared back then to cross
The narrow street of my shyness,
Maybe you could finally give me peace
With your mature wisdom as a woman.
And among nets and satin,
Kissing you and loving you,
My dreams of passion went
Always hidden in my corner...
Next to spring,
I made you my first verse,
You, so grown and beautiful,
Me, trembling and foolish.
Carmen, all my fifteen years are for you;
Carmen, my adolescence, the happiest fire;
Carmen, if I had dared back then to cross
The narrow street of my shyness,
Maybe you could finally give me peace
With your mature wisdom as a woman.
