a la corta distancia sobre el lago
at a short distance over the lake
los cisnes y los lirios
the swans & the waterlilies
de su manera
se distribuyen
bajo y entre lo sombra y sol
as they are wont to
spread themselves broadly
beneath & among what is shadow & sun
esta vista tan netamente clásica
this scene so clearly classical
huele además a la vez
smacks besides all at once
a lo romántico y lo modernista
of the romantic & the modernista
le habría encantado a Darío
mi amado compadre de antaño
compatriota
de esta nación etierna
Darío would've loved it
my beloved buddy of yesteryear
fellow countryman
of this tender & eternal nation
