El sueño

 

      a Martin Luther King Jr.


— Tengo un sueño — dijo,

el sueño, medido a sus tiempos,

que su maestro el nazareno

hace dos mil años amplificó

de las antiguas escrituras de su culto,

el sueño ya estampado

en las tabletas de barro de Ur,

puesto en la cuenta de Tot,

el sueño que cuando se cumpla

nos hará verdaderamente grandes.

The Dream

 

      to Martin Luther King Jr.

 

"I have a dream," he said,

the dream, fitted to his times,

that his master the Nazarene

two-thousand years ago amplified

from the ancient scriptures of his cult,

the dream already pressed

into the clay tablets of Ur,

entered in the ledger of Toth,

the dream that when realized

will make us truly great.
