Los aretes de la luna [English translation]

The earrings

that the moon is missing,

I have them kept

to make you a necklace.

I found them a foggy morning

when you were walking

near the immense sea.

A privilege

for which I thank heaven,

because there has been no poet

who could ever find them.

I keep them in a golden coffer,

they are my only fortune,

and I'm giving them to you.

The earrings

that the moon is missing,

I have them kept

in the bottom of the sea.
