    Juan Manuel Roca

    Side by side

    Days as needles

    I’m so lonely, love, that to my room
    Only the old creaking stairs
    Head up, step after step.
    © Translation: 2003, Raúl Jaime Gaviria

    Días como agujas

    Días como agujas

    Estoy tan solo, amor, que a mi cuarto
    Sólo sube, peldaño tras peldaño,
    La vieja escalera que traquea.

    Days as needles

    I’m so lonely, love, that to my room
