Full moon: The Poet to his Pupil

-




------------El poeta a su discípulo

------------------------------(al modo de Ben Abd Rabbihi
----------------------------------poeta cordobés 860-910) 



Con este dirham que me han regalado
compra una botella de vino,
una pieza de pan, un ramo
de rosas y de jazmines
y esta noche cuando salga la luna llena
espera en el jardín bajo
de Madinat al-Zahra, Ciudad brillante
listo para cantar canciones de amor.

---------The Poet to his Pupil

---------------------(in the mode of Ben Abd Rabbihi
----------------------------Cordovan poet 860-910)
 


With this dirham given me
buy a bottle of wine,
a loaf of bread, a bunch
of roses and jasmine
and tonight when the full moon rises
wait in the lower garden
of Madinat al-Zahra, the Brilliant City,
ready to sing songs of love.
