MOMENTS / El Ultimo Poema J.L. Borges, (1899 - 1986)

If I could live again my life, in the next, I will try to make more mistakes.
Si pudiera vivir nuevamente mi vida, en la proxima trataria de cometer mas errores.

I won't try to be so perfect, I will be more relaxed. I will be more stupid than I am now.
No intentaria ser tan perfecto, me relajaria mas. Seria mas tonto de lo que he sido.

In fact, I will take fewer things seriously. I will be less hygienic. I will take more risks.
I will take more trips, watch more sunsets, climb more mountains, swim more rivers,
De hecho, tomaria muy pocas cosas con seriedad. Seria menos higienico. Correria mas riesgos.
Haria mas viajes, contemplaria mas atardeceres, subiria mas montanas, nadaria mas rios.

I will go to places that I have never been quite often. I will eat more sweet ice cream than salty beans.
I will have more real problems and less imaginary one.
Iria a mas lugares adonde nunca he ido. Comeria mas dulzura en los helados que lo salado en las habas.
Tendria mas problemas reales y menos imginarios.

I was one of those who live prudent and prolific lives each minute of their lives; of course that I had moments of joy. If you do not know, that is what   life is made of   only "moments," treasure them and do not lose the "now."
Yo fui uno de ellos que han vivido la vida sensata y prolificamente, por supuesto que he tenido momentos de alegria. por si no lo saben, de estos momentos esta hecha la vida, solo de momentos.
No te pierdas el ahora.
...If I had my life again I will travel light, try to walk bare feet from spring to autumn, play with more children, but now I am 85, and I know that I am dying.
...Si tuviera otra vez la vida por delante viajaria mas liviano, comenzaria a andar descalzo desde la primavera hasta el otono, jugaria con mas ninos, pero ya ven tengo 85 y se que me estoy muriendo.
