Sergio Inestrosa

 

La blanca luna

le dio la espalda al sol,

la noche entera.

 

The white moon

turned his back to the sun,

the whole night.

 

La luz de luna

acaricia tu cuerpo;

sueño contigo.

 

The moonlight

caresses your body

I dream of you.

 

Sapos y ranas

a la luz de la luna,

chasquido de agua.

 

Toads and frogs

in the light of the moon,

clicking of water.

 

— Sergio Inestrosa
