Bajo la persistente nieve/Under the persistent snow

 

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.
