At midnight, Barcelona comes alive…
Los invisibles atomos del aire
En derredor palpitan y se inflaman;
El cielo se deshace en rayos de oro;
La tierra se estremece alborozada;
Oigo flotando en olas de armonia
Rumor de besos y batir de alas;
Mis parpados se cierran… ?Que sucede?
!Es el amor que pasa!
The viewless atoms of the air
Around me palpitate and burn,
All heaven dissolves in gold, and earth
Quivers with new-found joy.
Floating on waves of harmony I hear
A stir of kisses, and a sweep of wings;
Mine eyelids close–“What pageant nears?”
“‘Tis Love that passes by!”
– Gustavo Adolfo Becquer, Rima X
