Me mirabas

Es que ayer no escuche lo que me decías
Distinguía sonidos pero la cosa pasaba por otro lado
Eran tus ojos los que me hablaban
Las palabras que bajaban por tu boca
eran la excusa para mirarme 
Y contarme eso que me querías decir 

[Poema original en español; autora: Iara López; traductora: Constanza Demarziani]

You looked at me 

The fact is that yesterday I didn't hear what you were saying
I distinguished noises although, that wasn't relevant
Your eyes were the ones who spoke to me 
The words that came down your mouth
were the excuse to look at me 
And tell me what you wanted to say
