Moliendo Cafe



Cuando la tarde languidece renacen las sombras,
y en la quietud los cafetales vuelven a sentir
el son tristón, canción de amor de la vieja molienda,
que en el letargo de la noche parece gemir.
Una pena de amor, una tristeza
lleva el zambo Manuel, en su amargura
pasa incansable las noches moliendo café
---
When the evening fades, the shadows are reborn
And in the silence the plantations again hear
the sad love song of the old mill
which in the silence of the night seems to say:
Some kind of heartbreak, some kind of sadness,
carries the sambo* Manuel in his bitterness.
He tirelessly works throughout the night grinding coffee.

The River IV



Learn from the river. It flows. It does not ever stop or stand still. It would only be a puddle, if it stopped. It would evaporate, dry up, cease to be, if it fell in love with a scene, staying there, never to move again.The river leaps over rocks, swirls around anything that blocks its way. If something obstructs that is too big to move, too hard to dissolve, the river simply washes over and around; persistently, unrelentingly wearing away at the obstruction, until the river conquers and reconstructs its pathway and time is all it takes.

O Fortuna



"O Fortuna" is a medieval Latin Goliardic poem written early in the 13th century, part of the collection known as the Carmina Burana. It is a complaint about fate and Fortuna, a goddess in Roman mythology and the personification of luck.

In 1935–36, "O Fortuna" was set to music by the German composer Carl Orff as a part of movement "Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi" of his cantata Carmina Burana, which it opens and closes. It opens on a slower pace with thumping drums and choir that drops quickly into a whisper building slowly into a steady crescendo of drums and short string and horn notes peaking on one last long powerful note and ending abruptly. [Wikipedia]

O Fortuna
velut luna
statu variabilis,
semper crescis
aut decrescis;
vita detestabilis
nunc obdurat
et tunc curat
ludo mentis aciem,
egestatem,
potestatem
dissolvit ut glaciem.

Sors immanis
et inanis,
rota tu volubilis,
status malus,
vana salus
semper dissolubilis,
obumbrata
et velata
michi quoque niteris;
nunc per ludum
dorsum nudum
fero tui sceleris.

Sors salutis
et virtutis
michi nunc contraria,
est affectus
et defectus
semper in angaria.
Hac in hora
sine mora
corde pulsum tangite;
quod per sortem
sternit fortem,
mecum omnes plangite!
---
Fortune,
like the moon
you are changeable,
ever waxing
and waning;
hateful life
first oppresses
and then soothes
as fancy takes it;
poverty
and power
it melts them like ice.

Fate – monstrous
and empty,
you whirling wheel,
you are malevolent,
well-being is vain
and always fades to nothing,
shadowed
and veiled
you plague me too;
now through the game
I bring my bare back
to your villainy.

Fate is against me
in health
and virtue,
driven on
and weighted down,
always enslaved.
So at this hour
without delay
pluck the vibrating strings;
since Fate
strikes down the strong man,
everyone weep with me!
