Source text:
Así que esto es amor, tan exigente, nutritivo y difícil como nunca, y tan fuerte y sabio como te sabe hacer ser.
Hay algo que ganar por comprometerse.
Existen recompensas por permanecer cuando uno preferiría marcharse. Y hay algo digno de comentar por el hecho de subir veloz esa colina, cuando uno preferiría deslizarse por la ladera. Y de esa manera permites que el amor se acerque y se pose sobre tu hombro. Y no le das la espalda y bailan un tango. | Translation - English
My Target Text:
So this is love, as demanding and nourishing and difficult as it can be. And as strong and wise as it makes you become. There is something to be gained from commitment. There are rewards for staying when you would rather leave. And there is something to be said for running up that hill when you would rather slide down it.
And so you let love come perch upon
your shoulder. And you do not turn it away. And you do the tango for two.

Corrí hasta la cierva herida por la bala del cazador. Supe que la noche prometía ser larga pero tomé la decisión de no separarme del animal...y ella me enseñó a dar el salto de la fé, me cautivó, estaba fascinado y temblando. Yo salvaría esa vida, esa única vida. La vida. Una creencia que todos nosotros queremos observar, que si la perdiera en ese momento, el mundo la perdería por siempre...
tuve oprtunidad de ver apenas tanto lo efímero como lo eterno. | Translation - English
I raced toward the fallen doe struck by the hunter´s gun. I knew the night would be long but I decided not to move from the animal´s side...and she taught me how to take the leap of faith, she held me fascinated and shivering. I would save that life, that one life. Life. A belief that all of us want to hold, that if lost at that moment is lost forever to the world...I had a chance to glimpse both the fleeting and the eternal.

En la silenciosa mañana
levanté la mirada
y contemplé una nube rara
y gris
elevándose desde el horizonte
hacia el este...
repentinas fuentes de color tocaron
el cielo
para luego desdibujarse
misteriosamente
y dejar
una
manchita
descolorida...
que crecería
como una llama
segundos después. | Translation - English
On the quiet morning
I looked up
to see a curious gray cloud
rising from the eastern horizon...
sudden fountains of color surged
into the sky
and then
mysteriously drained away
to
a small
dim
smudge...
only to flare up
again
seconds later.
