Canto chueco de Quilticoyotzin
Hay veces que la flor y canto
que Quilticoyotzin alza
a la luna, le sale chueco;
le pesa el corazón —
secas las flores,
las plumas sin color,
sin lustre el oro,
desparramados los jades.
Se marchita la flor
se retuerce el canto
la luna se esconde
tras el nopal.

Quilticoyotzin's Crooked Song
There are times when the flower & song
Quilticoyotzin raises
to the moon comes out crooked;
his heart is heavy —
dried the flowers,
the feathers without color,
without luster the gold,
scattered the jades.
The flower wilts
the song twists
the moon hides
behind the prickly-pear.
