La casa de Aixa

Por Xánath Caraza

 

Las paredes del Dar al-Horra están de pie

Un mural malva te celebra

 

Fresca energía corre

Al cruzar el umbral de tu casa

La intimidad del lugar sorprende

Pequeña fuente de agua en el patio interior

 

Ventanas interiores con celosía perpetran

El juego de los que miran sin ser vistos

 

Racimos de flores violetas se desbordan

Verdes enredaderas dan eco a la belleza de tus días

 

Te veo caminar frente a la exquisita yesería

Deslizarte en los corredores, Aixa

 

Corazón del Albaicín, construcción nazarí

La erudición de tus palabras aún late

 

Elegancia y firmeza te definen

Como la honesta pasaste a la historia

 

(Granada, Andalucía, España, verano de 2012)

Aixa’s House

By Xánath Caraza

Translated by Sandra Kingery

 

The walls of Dar al-Horra are standing

A mauve mural honors you

 

Fresh energy flows

Crossing the threshold of your house

 

The intimacy of the place surprises

Small fountain of water in the interior patio

 

Interior lattice windows allow

The game of those who watch without being seen

 

Bouquets of violet flowers overflow

Green vines give echo to the beauty of your days

 

I see you walk in front of the exquisite plasterwork

Aixa Slipps down the hallways

 

Heart of the Albaicín, Nasrid construction

The erudition of your words still pulsates

 

Elegance and firmness define you

You went down in history as the honest one

 

(Granada, Andalucía, Spain, Summer 2012)

  1. A very beautiful poem, so sad the goddess is damaged, as are the lives of those who view her. Yet there is hope.
