El nombre conseguido de los nombres / The Name Drawn from the Names

Juan Ramón Jiménez
Translated by Robert Bly


Si yo, por ti, he creado un mundo para ti,
dios, tú tenías seguro que venir a él,
y tú has venido a él, a mí seguro,
porque mi mundo todo era mi esperanza.

Yo he acumulado mi esperanza
en lengua, en nombre hablado, en nombre escrito;
a todo yo le había puesto nombre
y tú has tomado el puesto
de toda esta nombradía.

Ahora puedo yo detener ya mi movimiento,
como la llama se detiene en ascua roja
con resplandor de aire inflamado azul,
en el ascua de mi perpetuo estar y ser;
ahora yo soy ya mi mar paralizado,
el mar que yo decía, mas no duro,
paralizado en olas de conciencia en luz
y vivas hacia arriba todas, hacia arriba.

Todos los nombres que yo puse
al universo que por ti me recreaba yo,
se me están convirtiendo en uno y en un
dios.

El dios que es siempre al fin,
el dios creado y recreado y recreado
por gracia y sin esfuerzo.
El Dios. El nombre conseguido de los nombres.

[De Animal de fondo, 1949.]


The Name Drawn from the Names
Translated by Robert Bly
___________________________________________________________________________________

If I have created a world for you, in your place,
god, you had to come to it confident,
and you have come to it, to my refuge,
because my whole world was nothing but my hope.

I have been saving up my hope
in language, in a spoken name, a written name;
I had given a name to everything,
and you have taken the place
of all these names.

Now I can hold back my movement
inside the coal of my continual living and being,
as the flame reins itself back inside the red coal,
surrounded by air that is all blue fire;
now I am my own sea that has been suddenly stopped somewhere,
the sea I used to speak of, but not heavy,
stiffened into waves of an awareness filled with light,
and all of them moving upward, upward.

All the names that I gave
to the universe that I created again for you
are now all turning into one name, into one
god.

The god who, in the end, is always
the god created and recreated and recreated
through grace and never through force.
The God. The name drawn from the names.
