Description

'Tú Me Quieres Blanca' is an AI hallucination of a famous poem and represents a new form of art.

Submerge yourself in this poem as you might dive into the ocean early in the morning. Emerge revived and inspired.

This poem was written by the legendary feminist poet Alfonsina Storni and first published in 1918 in Argentina. Since then, much of her work has passed into the public domain, such as this incredible poem read by Lorena @WomeNFTs.

Half of the total share of the artists’ proceeds from the sale of this NFT (including future royalties) will go to charities focused on education & conservation in Argentina, the country where Storni lived & worked, as well as Colombia, the birthplace of the protagonist in the film “Calladita”.


TÚ ME QUIERES ALBA

Tú me quieres alba,
me quieres de espumas,
me quieres de nácar.
Que sea azucena
sobre todas, casta.
De perfume tenue,
corola cerrada.
Ni un rayo de luna
filtrado me haya.
Ni una margarita
se diga mi hermana.
Tú me quieres nívea,
tú me quieres blanca,
tú me quieres alba.

Tú que hubiste todas
las copas a mano,
de frutos y mieles
los labios morados.
Tú que en el banquete
cubierto de pámpanos
dejaste las carnes
festejando a Baco.
Tú que en los jardines
negros del Engaño
vestido de rojo
corriste al Estrago.

Tú que el esqueleto
conservas intacto
no sé todavía
por cuáles milagros,
me pretendes blanca
(Dios te lo perdone),
me pretendes casta
(Dios te lo perdone),
¡Me pretendes alba!

Huye hacia los bosques,
vete a la montaña;
límpiate la boca;
vive en las cabañas;
toca con las manos
la tierra mojada;
alimenta el cuerpo
con raíz amarga;
bebe de las rocas;
duerme sobre escarcha;
renueva tejidos
con salitre y agua;
habla con los pájaros
y lévate al alba.

Y cuando las carnes
te sean tornadas,
y cuando hayas puesto
en ellas el alma
que por las alcobas
se quedó enredada,
entonces, buen hombre,
preténdeme blanca,
preténdeme nívea,
preténdeme casta.


English Translation (by Lorena @WomeNFTs)


YOU WANT ME WHITE

You want me dawn,
You want me made of sea foam,
You want me mother-of-pearl.
To be a lily
Above all, chaste.
A faint perfume,
Unopened blossom.
Not a single moonbeam
Filters down to me.
Nor a daisy
That says she is my sister.
You want me snow,
You want me white,
You want me dawn.

You who had all the wine
Glasses in hand.
With purple lips
Of fruits and honey.
You who were wrapped in vines
At the banquet
Who abandoned your flesh
In celebration of Bacchus.
You who were in the black
Gardens of deception
Dressed in red
Ran to ruin.

You who still preserve
Your skeleton intact
I don't even yet know
By which miracles,
You expect me white
(May God forgive you),
You expect me chaste
(May God forgive you),
You expect me dawn!

Run away to the forests,
Leave for the mountain;
Clean your mouth;
Live in the cabins;
Touch with your bare hands
The wet earth;
Feed your body
With bitter roots;
Sleep on the frost;
Renew your body
With salt and water;
Speak with the birds
And get up with the dawn.

And when your flesh
Transforms,
When you have put
Inside it your soul
Which in the bedrooms
Was left tangled,
Then, good man,
Expect me white,
Expect me snow,
Expect me chaste.
