Levanta la Frente - Julio Sosa

Levanta la frente.

No escondas la cara

Enjuga tus lágrimas, échate a reír

No tengas vergüenza, a tu rostro aclara;

¿por qué tanta pena?, ¿por qué tal sufrir?

Ya sé que tu falta será para el mundo

Escándalo, risa, placer y baldón;

Mas yo soy tu hermano, y al ser juez me fundo

Según los dictados que da el corazón

No es falta la falta de dar luz a un niño:

La ley de dar frutos es ley de la flor…

No peca quien brinda la fe del cariño

Ni es crimen el darse confiada al amor

Malvado es el hombre que infiere la ofensa;

Infame es el hombre que bebe y se va

Y deja en la fuente, la flor y no piensa

No piensa siquiera que un ser nacerá

Acércate, hermana;

no llores, no temas;

La ley de ser madre es ley natural;

Las madres son diosas con santas diademas

Ya cumplan o violen la norma legal

La madre casada, la madre soltera…

Son todas iguales: son una, no dos;

Lo nieguen las leyes, lo niegue quien quiera

¡son todas iguales delante de Dios!

¡No llores, hermana… Ya ves… te comprendo

De nada te culpo, mi afecto te doy;

Mi casa, mis brazos, mis puños te ofrendo;

Del hijo que traes cual padre ya soy

No temas, hermana;

tendrás mis ahorros

Tendrás todo aquello que aquí dentro ves…

Tu buena cuñada me dio dos cachorros;

De cuenta haré, hermana, que ya tengo tres

Raise your forehead.

don't hide your face

Wipe away your tears, laugh

Do not be ashamed, your face is clear;

Why so much pain? Why such suffering?

I already know that your lack will be for the world

Scandal, laughter, pleasure and shame;

But I am your brother, and being a judge I found myself

According to the dictates that the heart gives

The lack of giving birth to a child is not a fault:

The law of bearing fruit is the law of the flower...

Does not sin who offers the faith of affection

Nor is it a crime to give oneself entrusted to love

Wicked is the man who inflicts the offense;

Infamous is the man who drinks and leaves

And he leaves the flower in the fountain and does not think

He does not even think that a being will be born

Come closer, sister;

don't cry, don't be afraid;

The law of being a mother is a natural law;

Mothers are goddesses with holy diadems

They already comply with or violate the legal norm

The married mother, the single mother...

They are all the same: they are one, not two;

The laws deny it, whoever wants to deny it

they are all equal before God!

Don't cry, sister... You see... I understand you

I blame you for nothing, I give you my affection;

I offer you my house, my arms, my fists;

Of the son that you bring, which father I am already

Fear not, sister;

you will have my savings

You will have everything that you see inside here...

Your good sister-in-law gave me two puppies;

I'll count, sister, I already have three
