Meksikali sair, gazeteci ve egitimci Amado Nervo'nun (Juan Crisóstomo Ruiz de Nervo) dogum yildonumu (27 Agustos 1870)
Kendi gunbatimima dogru seni kutsuyorum yasam,
cunku sen bana hicbir zaman bos umutlar,
adaletsizlikler, hak edilmemis uzuntuler yasatmadin.
Cunku inisli cikisli yolumun sonunda gordum ki
kendi kaderimin mimari bendim ve seylerin icindeki tatliligi ve aciligi ortaya cikardiysam
onları oraya koymus olan yine ben oldugum icindi.
Gul agaci ektigimde acan her zaman guller oldu.
Elbette gencligimin ardindan kis gelecek ama
sen zaten Mayisin sonsuza dek surecegini soylememistin.
Suphesiz aci dolu uzun gecelerim oldu ama
sen zaten bana sadece mutlu geceler vaat etmemistin.
Ve karsiliginda huzur dolu gecelerim de oldu.
Sevdim, sevildim, gunes yuzumu oksadi...
Yasam, bana hicbir sey borclu degilsin.
Yasam, kus degiliz...
Very close to my sundown, I bless you, life
because you never gave me false hope,
nor unjust work, nor undeserved punishment;
because I see at the end of my rough path
that I was the architect of my own destiny;
if I extracted the sweetness or bitterness of things,
It was because I put bitterness and sweetness into them,
when I planted rose bushes, I always reaped roses.
Surely, winter will follow my vim and vigor:
But you never told me that May would last forever!"
I found without a doubt the nights long with my sorrows;
but you didn't promise me just good nights;
and instead I had some blessed and serene [nights]...
I loved, I was loved, the sun caressed my face
Life, you owe me nothing! Life, we are at peace!
