Harlequin
Pablo Picasso (1918)
Arlequín
Arlequín recorre el mundo
tocando su guitarra de sol
su guitarra de vientos alisios
su guitarra de versos y canción.
El arlequín tiene voz de pájaro
al desclavar las notas alegres
que han anidado en su corazón
tan generoso como un tambor.
Con las palabras del arcoíris
el arlequín cuenta a la tierra
tan largo viaje azul del cielo
pues su hogar son las estrellas.
Arlequín recorre el mundo
tocando su guitarra de sol
su guitarra de vientos alisios
su guitarra de versos y canción.
Harlequin
Pablo Picasso (1918)
Harlequin
Harlequin travels the world
playing his sun guitar
his trade wind guitar
his guitar of verses and song.
The harlequin has the voice of a bird
when unnailing the happy notes
that have nested in your heart
as generous as a drum.
With the words of the rainbow
the harlequin counts to the earth
so long journey blue sky
for his home is the stars.
Harlequin travels the world
playing his sun guitar
his trade wind guitar
his guitar of verses and song.
