Poema de Charles Bukowski "Bluebird" animado.

Bluebird (Poema original de Charles Bukowski)

There's a bluebird in my heart that

wants to get out

but I'm too tough for him,

I say, stay in there, I'm not going

to let anybody see

you.

there's a bluebird in my heart that

wants to get out

but I pour whiskey on him and inhale

cigarette smoke

and the whores and the bartenders

and the grocery clerks

never know that

he's

in there.

there's a bluebird in my heart that

wants to get out

but I'm too tough for him,

I say,

stay down, do you want to mess

me up?

you want to screw up the

works?

you want to blow my book sales in

Europe?

there's a bluebird in my heart that

wants to get out

but I'm too clever, I only let him out

at night sometimes

when everybody's asleep.

I say, I know that you're there,

so don't be

sad.

then I put him back,

but he's singing a little

in there, I haven't quite let him

die

and we sleep together like

that

with our

secret pact

and it's nice enough to

make a man

weep, but I don't

weep, do

you?

El pájaro azul (Traducción del poema)

Hay un pájaro azul
en mi corazón
que quiere salir
pero soy demasiado
listo, sólo lo dejo
salir
a veces por la noche
cuando todo el
mundo
duerme.
Le digo ya sé que
estás
ahí, no te pongas
triste.
Después lo vuelvo
a introducir, y él
canta un poquito
ahí dentro, no lo
dejé morir
del todo
y dormimos juntos
Así
Con nuestro pacto
secreto
Y es tan tierno como
para hacer llorar a
un hombre,
pero yo no
lloro,
¿lloras tú?
