Looking for Spanish poetry

Question

Does anyone know any good Spanish poems or something? I looked on google, but didn't really find anything in my fairly quick search. I am looking for something so that I can do some more posts like my Cultivo Una Rosa Blanca post. It would be helpful if it was short. Not super short, but not long either.

Thanks!

and I am looking at others posts about poetry, but am wondering if anyone has anything to add. :) - actorgirl, Mar 20, 2014

Answer 1

Hola Actorgirl,

Cuando estaba en la primaria teníamos que recitar éste poema.

Las moscas

de Félix María Samaniego

A un panal de rica miel

dos mil moscas acudieron

que, por golosas, murieron,

presas de patas en él.

Otra dentro de un pastel

enterró su golosina.

Así, si bien se examina,

los humanos corazones

perecen en las prisiones

del vicio que los domina.

Cuando la maestra nos dijo el título del poema, todos estabamos muertos de risa, pero si examinas bien el poema tiene mucha razón el poeta.

When I put this into the translator, it gives me different translations for some of the words. Can you post it in English too please? - actorgirl, Mar 20, 2014

actorgirl.... you look up each work in a Spanish -English dictionary and try to solve it yourself. See where it gets you. - chileno, Mar 21, 2014

word.... and please don;t use a translator to do the job for you, else you are never going to develop well with Spanish. - chileno, Mar 21, 2014

Answer 2

Search Rubén Darío, he was a poet from Nicaragua.

Okay, I will do that. Thanks - actorgirl, Mar 20, 2014

Answer 3

Actorgirl,

Aquí está la traducción de "Las Moscas" al inglés:

La primera versión es de un muy querido amigo mío que me ayudó:

The Flies

Into a honeycomb filled with honey

two thousand flies arrived

overwhelmed by the desire of sweets, they died

their feet stuck tight inside

another one was inside a cake

buried in its sticky sweetness.

In this same way

if we examine human hearts

they perish in the prisons

Of the vices that dominate them.

Aquí está mi versión con la ayuda de mi mismo amigo:

"The Flies"

Into a honeycomb full of delicious honey

two thousand flies arrived

and because of their sweet-tooth they died

with their feet imprisoned in it.

Another one, into a cake

buried in its sweets.

In the same way, if you examine

human hearts

they die in the prisons

of the vices that control them.

Thanks! I appreciate it! - actorgirl, Mar 21, 2014
