Ice Boat
(For Spanish translation click here)

I come to see you go by every day,

enchanting boat, always distant . . .

Your eyes two blond captains,

your lips one tiny red handkerchief

waving a bloodstained farewell!

I come to see you go by, until one day,

intoxicated of time and cruelty,

enchanted boat, always distant,

the afternoon star will depart!

The rigging winds that betray, winds

of a woman that has passed by!

Your cold captains give orders;

And the one who departs will be I . . .
