January arrives with a very sharp frost, marking the year and the winter season. He wakes early, actually before the first second of dawn, as he prepares for a journey toward the north. He looks at his wife and son, who sleep beside him inside the warm house. Although the air outside feels bitter, he knows he must leave now. She stirs, a woman of strength, and gives him a kiss before he steps toward the front door. It is Monday, the start of a long week, and he feels more resolve than ever.
Enero llega con una helada muy aguda, marcando el año y la estación de invierno. Él se despierta temprano, realmente antes del primer segundo del alba, mientras se prepara para un viaje hacia el norte. Él mira a su esposa e hijo, quienes duermen al lado de él dentro de la cálida casa. Aunque el aire afuera se siente amargo, él sabe que debe irse ahora. Ella se agita, una mujer de fortaleza, y le da un beso antes de que él salga hacia la puerta delantera. Es lunes, el comienzo de una larga semana, y él siente más determinación que nunca.
By noon, the sun sits above the horizon as he travels south. He meets his friend, a man who acts as a guide, and together they navigate the right and left turns of the mountain pass. They discuss what matters most: family and love. The guide mentions his girlfriend, while the protagonist thinks of his mother, father, and parents back home. Why do we strive? Because every child, boy, or girl, deserves a future. They eat already prepared rations here, near a stream that flows east.
Al mediodía, el sol se sitúa arriba del horizonte mientras él viaja hacia el sur. Él se encuentra con su amigo, un hombre que actúa como guía, y juntos ellos navegan los giros a la derecha e izquierda del paso de montaña. Ellos discuten qué importa más: la familia y el amor. El guía menciona a su novia, mientras el protagonista piensa en su madre, padre y padres en casa. ¿Por qué nosotros nos esforzamos? Porque cada niño, niño o niña, merece un futuro. Ellos comen raciones ya preparadas aquí, cerca de un arroyo que fluye hacia el este.
Time accelerates; February, March, April, and May bring spring blooms. June, July, and August represent the heat of summer. September, October, and November introduce autumn. By a Tuesday afternoon in June, the traveler reaches the west coast. Suddenly, he encounters his big brother and little sister. They have not seen each other since yesterday, or so it feels, but actually, a full month passed. How did the time vanish? Often, an hour or minute feels like a day when far from home, but close in spirit.
El tiempo se acelera; febrero, marzo, abril y mayo traen flores de primavera. Junio, julio y agosto representan el calor del verano. septiembre, octubre y noviembre introducen el otoño. Para una tarde de martes en junio, el viajero llega a la costa oeste. De repente, se encuentra con su hermano mayor y hermana pequeña. Ellos no se han visto desde ayer, o eso parece, pero en realidad, pasó un mes completo. ¿Cómo se desvaneció el tiempo? A menudo, una hora o minuto se siente como un día cuando se está lejos de casa, pero cerca en espíritu.
On Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and finally Sunday, the cycle nears its end. At midnight, the protagonist stands there, looking at the stars above. He reflects on his big sister, little brother, daughter, and husband—the other members of his kin. If everybody returns today, or tomorrow, the circle completes. Sex, life, and death are all part of the this and that of existence. Where then is the destination? It is right behind him, where he started. Immediately, he turns back. Already, he is home again. None are left outside.
El miércoles, jueves, viernes, sábado y finalmente domingo, el ciclo se acerca a su fin. A medianoche, el protagonista se para allí, mirando las estrellas arriba. Él reflexiona sobre su hermana mayor, hermano pequeño, hija y esposo—los otros miembros de su parentela. Si todos regresan hoy, o mañana, el círculo se completa. El sexo, la vida y la muerte son todo parte de esto y aquello de la existencia. ¿Dónde entonces está el destino? Está justo detrás de él, donde comenzó. Inmediatamente, él se vuelve hacia atrás. Ya, él está en casa otra vez. Ninguno queda afuera.
The High Altitude New Year
Raul: I drove west to reach this cabin today, and you arrived from the east, yet we are here together inside while it is very cold outside.
Raul: Yo conduje al oeste para llegar a esta cabaña hoy, y tú llegaste del este, pero nosotros estamos aquí juntos adentro mientras hace mucho frío afuera.
Mateo: Actually, I looked above at the north stars yesterday night; they were close, but now the afternoon sun is below the peak.
Mateo: De hecho, yo miré arriba a las estrellas del norte ayer por la noche; ellas estaban cerca, pero ahora el sol de la tarde está debajo de la cima.
Sofia: Where is the rest? If that man is there, then who is on the left or the right in front of the back door?
Sofia: ¿Dónde está el resto? Si ese hombre está allí, entonces ¿quién está a la izquierda o a la derecha en frente de la puerta de atrás?
Raul: Every friend, boyfriend, and girlfriend is coming; she is my wife, and he is my husband, so everybody is actually already here.
Raul: Cada amigo, novio y novia viene; ella es mi esposa, y él es mi marido, así que todos realmente ya están aquí.
Mateo: My parents, mother, father, mum, and dad brought my son, daughter, child, boy, and girl to meet their little sister and big brother.
Mateo: Mis padres, madre, padre, mamá y papá trajeron a mi hijo, hija, niño, niño y niña para conocer a su hermanita y hermano mayor.
Sofia: Is your little brother or big sister the woman who gave a kiss to the other guest? How often do they express love?
Sofia: ¿Es tu hermanito o hermana mayor la mujer que le dio un beso al otro invitado? ¿Qué tan seguido ellos expresan amor?
Raul: From January, February, March, and April, through May, June, July, and August, to September, October, November, and December, the year passed in a second.
Raul: Desde enero, febrero, marzo y abril, pasando por mayo, junio, julio y agosto, hasta septiembre, octubre, noviembre y diciembre, el año pasó en un segundo.
Mateo: Each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday felt like a month during winter and autumn, though less so in spring and summer.
Mateo: Cada lunes, martes, miércoles, jueves, viernes, sábado y domingo se sintió como un mes durante el invierno y el otoño, aunque menos en primavera y verano.
Sofia: This week had a morning, noon, evening, and midnight where a minute or an hour changed what we knew tomorrow.
Sofia: Esta semana tuvo una mañana, mediodía, tarde y medianoche donde un minuto o una hora cambió lo que nosotros sabíamos de mañana.
Raul: Why is it more really beside the point if none are far? Although suddenly it is not about sex, but most about the soul.
Raul: ¿Por qué es más realmente al lado del punto si ninguno está lejos? Aunque de repente ello no se trata de sexo, sino más que nada del alma.
Mateo: Which path remains? South is the direction if we start again immediately, because the most important thing is not the end.
Mateo: ¿Cuál camino queda? El sur es la dirección si nosotros comenzamos de nuevo inmediatamente, porque lo más importante no es el final.
Sofia: When we realize why things happen, how we act is what defines us, because not every ending is a loss.
Sofia: Cuando nos damos cuenta de por qué pasan las cosas, cómo actuamos es lo que nos define, porque no cada final es una pérdida.
