Pablo Neruda: English translation of 'Machu Picchu'

The Urubamba’s torrential silver lures pollen to fly from its golden chalice while above this canyon’s unbroken silence everything soars: the climbing grapevines, the shopworn plants, each inflexible garland. Come, elfin life, test your wings above the earth, test...

Eisige Luft Der Anden / Icy Air of the Andes
Kristalle aus Eis und Salz überziehen den See rot im Abendlicht. Am Horizont erstrahlen die Anden im Mantel aus Purpur und Gold, Eldorado der Ewigkeit.

Weitab in der Ferne am Horizont sprühen heiße Quellen Fontänen in vor Kälte klirrende Abendluft. Nur einige Vicuñas treiben ihre Spiele...

Crystals of hope, lights of a lost history, between desert and ocean, buried and preserved for the future. The geysers sing their melodies, with songs from the sky. The wind caresses the soil, calming rocks and ice. The sand shows its fragility with feathers...
