Myth of Arrival

My friend from Gijon, Spain, sent me this translated version of "Narcissus' Lament." Thank you so much!¹

No te puedes ver
reflejado en estas
olas, todo se mueve
demasiado rapido
mi cara, nublada
por las flores
flotantes del mar.

1. The original being:

   You can't look
   at yourself in these
   waves, everything
   moves so fast. My
   face, marred
   by floating
   sea flowers. [back]
