The word can't cope with my load of anguish,/and my exalted pain can't fit in my verse.
La palabra no puede con mi carga de angustia,/y no cabe en mi verso mi dolor exaltado.
Original text (Spanish)
More quotes by Julia de Burgos
From my invaded nation,/the battlefield today is independence.
Where does the laughter wander that decorated life/when your heart gathered my sadnesses?
