Translation:The Street in the Shadows. The Tall Old Houses Hide
The Street in the shadows. The tall old houses hide
the dying sun; there are echoes of light at the balconies.
Don’t you see, in the charm of the ornate window,
the ruddy oval of a familiar face?
The image, through the somewhat-reflecting glass,
arises or dims like an old daguerrotype.
There’s only the sound of your step on the street;
the echoes of the sunset slowly extinguish.
Oh, anuish! My heart weighs on me and hurts... Is it her?
It can’t be... She walks... In the blue, the star.
