| Le asustan los ruidos y también la tranquilidad
| He is scared by noises and also by tranquility
|
| Le gustan los mimos, pero respira en soledad
| He likes pampering, but he breathes in solitude
|
| Se hace fuerte ahí, donde no lo ví
| It becomes strong there, where I did not see it
|
| Y se esconde siempre que hay maldad
| And it hides whenever there is evil
|
| Él vive escondido conversando con su piedad
| He lives hidden conversing with his piety
|
| Se queda en vilo para no tener que soñar
| He stays in suspense so as not to have to dream
|
| Y ahuyenta sus ganas, luego se las pone a buscar
| And he drives away his desire, then he starts looking for them
|
| Y se enreda ahí, donde sí lo vi
| And he gets tangled up there, where I did see him
|
| Y le encanta no poder robar
| And he loves that he can't steal
|
| Se roba a sí mismo para poder continuar sin probar
| He steals himself so he can continue without trying
|
| Solo una vez pudo reírse de su contradicción
| He only once could laugh at his contradiction
|
| Y de volar como si fuera un pez
| And to fly as if he were a fish
|
| Que ahora camina cumpliendo una misión
| That he now walks fulfilling a mission
|
| Solo una vez pudo aguantarse de querer existir
| Only once could he hold back from wanting to exist
|
| Logró burlarse del sentido común
| He managed to flout common sense
|
| Y de las cosas que no saben morir
| And of the things that don't know how to die
|
| Buscando descalzo él siempre encuentra un aluvión
| Searching barefoot he always finds a barrage
|
| Y solo se cubre con los restos de una canción
| And he just covers himself with the remains of a song
|
| Se remienda ahí con su bisturí y de pronto, todo es ilusión
| He mends himself there with his scalpel and suddenly everything is an illusion
|
| Se abraza, se cuida y se estrella como un avión sin razón
| He hugs himself, takes care of himself and crashes like a plane for no reason
|
| Solo una vez pudo reírse de su contradicción
| Only once could he laugh at his contradiction
|
| Y de volar como si fuera un pez
| And to fly as if he were a fish
|
| Que ahora camina cumpliendo una misión
| That he now walks fulfilling a mission
|
| Solo una vez pudo aguantarse de querer existir
| Only once could he hold back from wanting to exist
|
| Logró burlarse del sentido común
| He managed to flout common sense
|
| Y de las cosas que no saben morir | And of the things that don't know how to die |
