El andaluz

"The andalusian"
~Luis Cernuda
Sombra hecha de luz,
que templando repele,
es fuego con nieve
el andaluz.

Enigma al trasluz,
pues va entre gente solo,
es amor con odio
el andaluz.

Oh hermano mío, tú.
Dios, que te crea,
será quién comprenda
al andaluz.
Shade made of illumination
that tempering repels,
is fire with snow
the andalusian.

Enigma to reflection,
then goes among lonely people,
is love with hate
the andalusian.

Oh, you, my brother.
God, who created you,
will be who understands
the andalusian.
