Entré en la selva de los relojes

Available translation(s): FRE
Entré
en la selva
de los relojes.
Frondas de tic-tac,
racimos de campanas
y bajo la hora múltiple,
constelaciones de péndulos.
Los lirios negros
de las horas muertas.
Los lirios negros
de las horas niñas.
¡Todo igual!
¿Y el oro del amor?
Hay una hora tan sólo.
¡Una hora tan sólo!
¡La hora fría!

J'entrai dans la forêt des horloges
Language: French (Français)  after the Spanish (Español)
J'entrai
dans la forêt
des horloges.
Les feuilles faisaient tic-tac,
les cloches carillonnaient en grappes.
et sous une horloge aux faces multiples,
des constellations de balanciers.
Les lys noirs
des heures mortes.
Les lys noirs
des heures enfants.
Tout est égal !
Et l'or de l'amour ?
Il n'y a qu'une seule heure.
Une seule heure !
L'heure froide !
