Rima 41 (Tú eras el huracán...)
    Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer
Rhyme 41 (You were the hurricane...)
 
     
Tú eras el huracán y yo la alta   You were the hurricane and I the high
torre que desafía su poder:   tower defying its power:
¡tenías que estrellarte o que abatirme!   you had to crash or throw me down!
¡No podía ser!   That could not be!
     
Tú eras el océano y yo la enhiesta   You were the ocean and I the erect
roca que firme aguarda su vaivén:   rock waiting solid for its heavy sea:
¡tenías que romperte o que arrancarme!   you had to break or root me out!
¡No podía ser!   That could not be!
     
Hermosa tú, yo altivo: acostumbrados   Beautiful you, haughty me: used
uno a arrollar, el otro a no ceder:   the one to trample down, the other to not giving up:
la senda estrecha, inevitable el choque...   narrow the path, unavoidable the impact...
¡No podía ser!   That could not be!
