1. MONSTER

Belda
Although that may sound absolutely
impossible,
if you are able to look at the monster
with eyes of a child,
you can still recognize the innocent being
that inhabits within him.
Do memory, I beg, you people should
remember!
He was a boy when he horribly amputated
his own ears
since he could not bear your merciless
teasing.
He cut his tongue because it seemed
that his poignant cries of pain displeased
you.
He finally took off his both eyes
so as to his pitiful glance could not bother
you anymore.
Shall we throw the monster in the dark pit
of death,
but we should keep in mind that,
despite his hideous appearance,
none of us is better than him.
2. MONSTRE
Malgrat que puga semblar del tot impossible,
si sou capaços de mirar el monstre
amb ulls d’infant,
podreu reconèixer l’ésser innocent
que encara l’habita.
Feu memòria, us ho suplico, recordeu!
Ell era un nen quan es va amputar cruelment les
orelles,
ja que no podia suportar les vostres despietades
burles.
Es va tallar la llengua perquè semblava
que els seus commovedors crits de dolor us
disgustaven.
Es va arrancar tots dos ulls,
finalment, perquè la seua mirada llastimosa no us
poguera incomodar
mai més.
Llancem el monstre a l’obscur pou de la mort,
però tinguem sempre present que,
malgrat la seua horrorosa aparença,
ningú de nosaltres no és millor que ell.
