Because your eyes were two flames
And your brooch wasn't pinned right,
I thought you had spent the night
In playing forbidden games.
Because you were vile and devious
Such deadly hatred I bore you:
To see you was to abhor you
So lovely and yet so villainous.
Because a note came to light,
I know now where you had been,
And what you had done unseen —
Cried for me all the long night.
POR TUS OJOS ENCENDIDOS... (Verso XIX)
Por tus ojos encendidos
Y lo mal puesto de un broche,
Pensé que estuviste anoche
Jugando a juegos prohibidos.
Te odié por vil y alevosa:
Te odié con odio de muerte:
Náusea me daba de verte
Tan villana y tan hermosa.
Y por la esquela que vi
Sin saber cómo ni cuándo,
Sé que estuviste llorando
Toda la noche por mí.

Sweet
"I thought you had spent the night
In playing forbidden games."
This is the beauty of a poetic expression. Marti always shows his elegance in portraying such deep and colorful thoughts in very simple words.
