Prowess

There is one who says
that the greatest prowess of man
is to conquer himself.

I, however, flee
from the demon that hounds me:
every time that I can
I hide from myself
fot it always wins
the faithfull shadow that inhabits me

Proeza

Hay quien dice
que la mayor proeza del hombre
es vencerse a sí mismo.

Yo, sin embargo, huyo
del demonio que me acosa:
cada vez que puedo
me escondo de mí
pues siempre gana
la fidelísima sombra que me habita.
