The original is unfaithful to the translation.
This is one of perhaps the most beautiful quotes from Jorge Luis Borges, and certainly my favourite. There is an art to remixing a tune or covering a song that I cannot fully explain or totally fathom. But I feel like any attempt should try to make the quote above sound true.
The remix below of the song by Nina Simone is an honest coup d'essai. I hope you like it too :)
