CONCERT
For the rain it is not enough
To play good music and no more.
It shakes the sky with lightning and thunder.
It bows down to the fields
To give thanks.
The maize fields and trees applaud.
CONCIERTO
La lluvia no se conforma
con ser buena música y nomás,
hace cimbrar el cielo con rayos y con truenos.
Baja hasta el campo
para dar las gracias.
Las milpas y los árboles aplauden.
5 August 2008, La Jornada, Carlos Montemayor
