Ars Notoria, 4th August 202511th September 2025

Dentro de los ecos del Coloquio Internacional de Poesía & Filosofía, compartimos dos poemas de Celerina Sánchez en idioma tu’un ñuu savi (mixteco) y en su traducción al español (en la versión de la propia autora).

Los poemas pertenecen a la antología “Otro mundo en la Tierra”, compilada por Ulises Paniagua (Corazón de Diablo Ediciones, 2023).

Reverberating from the International Colloquium on Poetry & Philosophy, we share two poems by Celerina Sánchez in the tu’un ñuu savi (Mixtec) language and in their Spanish translation (in the author’s own version).

The poems are part of the anthology “Another World on Earth”, compiled by Ulises Paniagua (Corazón de Diablo Ediciones, 2023).

Locura

la sonrisa es el movimiento sencillo
de la locura que nos anima a vivir
rasga los preludios del existir
en la cotidianidad aburrida
tatuajes en la piel descalza
bajo el río de emociones
experimentos que laceran las células
ansiedad de realidades vedadas
revuelo de vulnerabilidad
como animal enjaulado
escape nocturnal
en una carcajada sin destino
por no saber nuestro camino

Madness

A smile is a simple movement
of the madness that encourages us to live
it tears the beginning of existence
in a dull everyday experience
tattoos on bare skin
under a river of emotions
experiments that rip cells up
anxiety of banned realities
commotion of vulnerabilities
like a caged animal
a nocturnal escape
in a laughter with no fate
for ignoring our way

Ita yukú

kuú tono ita
ñaa nikaku nuu yu’ku
ita yukú
ñaa ti’in ndaaso yiví
nuu ñuu yúù yo’ó
takua koo xoo
nuú yu’ku ka’ni kini

Flor silvestre

soy como la flor
que nace en la montaña,
flor silvestre
que se aferra a la vida
en este pueblo de asfalto
condenada a sobrevivir
en una selva de concreto

Wild Flower

I am like a flower
that grows in the mountain,
wild flower
that clings to life
in this asphalt town
condemned to survive
in an urban jungle
