[]Esp. / Eng.] Te amo en silencio || I love you silently…!

Si no hubiera silencio…
serÃa todo monótono,
prevalecerÃan los diálogos
con voces de varios tonos;
EstarÃan las manos y los brazos
descansando en eterno reposo.
Y la ausencia de certeros gestos
delatarÃan los saturados rostros.
Si no hubiera silencio…
carecerÃan de motivos los curiosos;
pues son deleites para sus ojos
verlos hablar unos a otros,
En diálogos concentrados
aunque sus voces sean sin tonos.
Qué esencia suplirÃa dichos motivos,
si todo fuera sonidos.
Recuerdo a Francisco BenÃtez,
su poesÃa concreta y lenguaje de señas.
Inspirado en el silencio, brillantez
Que el sordo escuche poesÃas.
Quienes escuchan el silencio buscan
para calmar sus aturdidos dÃas,
el sordo vive en el silencio eterno
inaprehensible que llamamos mutismo.
Un momento de paz buscamos,
todo en exceso hace daño.
El silencio aturde al sordo
El ruido atormenta al oyente.
Preamble
Dear English-speaking virtual friends, I apologise in advance because I am aware that a poem translated from Spanish into English loses its meaning, rhythm and metrical structure. I used the online tool DeepL Pro and gave it a personal touch according to my knowledge of the English language, but I could not construct the corresponding rhymes.
If there were no silence…
it would all be monotonous,
dialogues would prevail
with voices of various tones;
There would be hands and arms
resting in eternal repose.
And the absence of accurate gestures
Would betray the saturated faces.
If there were no silence…
There would be no reason for the curious;
For it is a delight to their eyes
To watch them talk to each other,
In concentrated dialogues
Though their voices be toneless.
What essence would supply such motives,
If all were sounds.
I remember Francisco BenÃtez,
his concrete poetry and sign language.
Inspired by silence, brilliance
Let the deaf listen to poetry.
Those who listen to silence seek
to calm their dazed days,
the deaf live in the eternal silence
that we call mutism.
A moment of peace we seek,
everything in excess hurts.
Silence stuns the deaf
Noise torments the listener.
