Bajo la
persistente nieve que cae en Nueva York,
Nueva York
filma su propia película de terror
y no se
rinde al espanto de la tormenta,
su
innegable belleza adicional que el tiempo le brinda
y convierte
en novia del asombro,
ciudad
fantasma por un tiempo de tormenta.
No te
niegues ante este nuevo espectáculo,
la nieve no
podrá derretir los sueños,
ni congelar
el futuro si no dejas de ser
Nueva York
en cualquier estación.
Por algo
eres mi favorita,
vieja nave
invernal del porvenir.
Rolando Gabrielli2026
Under the persistent snow falling
over New York,
New York films its own horror movie
and does not surrender to the terror
of the storm,
its undeniable added beauty that
time bestows
and turns into the bride of wonder,
a ghost city for a spell of storm.
Do not refuse this new spectacle;
the snow will not be able to melt
dreams,
nor freeze the future if you never
cease to be
New York in every season.
For good reason you are my favorite,
old winter vessel of the days to
come.

Beneath the tireless snow that falls
on New York,
New York shoots its own tale of
terror
and will not yield to the storm’s
dread,
to that unmistakable beauty time
lays upon her,
crowning her the bride of
astonishment,
a ghostly city for the span of a
tempest.
Do not turn away from this new
spectacle;
the snow cannot dissolve our dreams,
nor ice the promise of tomorrow
if you remain yourself—
New York, in every season.
No wonder you are my chosen one,
ancient winter ship sailing toward
the future.
