Nunca Intente / You Never Try

Nunca Intente / You Never Try

A Poem by Lexi Nicole
"

Spanish and English. We always talked about being free...but you never try.

"

Nosotros siempre hablabamos
Sobre nubes en el cielo
Y las criaturas que vuelan
Pero nunca intente
Para huir.

 

Como los pájeros
Y como las mariposas.
Nunca intente
Volar.

 

Nosotros siempre hablabamos
Sobre los pescados en el mar
Natación libre
Pero nunca intente
A nadar.

 

Nosotros siempre hablabamos
Sobre ser libre
Como las águilas
Y como las estrallas
Y como los vientos
Pero nunca intente
Ser libre.

 

 

Siempre hablabamos sobre volante
Siempre hablabamos sobre natación
Siempre hablabamos sobre  ser libre
Pero nunca intente
¿Por qué?

 

---

 

We always talked
About the clouds in the sky
And the creatures that fly
But you never try
To take flight.

 

Like the birds
And like the butterflies.
You never try
To fly.

 

We always talked
About the fish in the sea
Swimming free
But you never try
To swim.

 

We always talked
About being free
Like the eagles
And like the stars
And like the wind
But you never try
To be free.

 

We always talked about flying
We always talked about swimming
We always talked about being free
But you never try.
Why?
