Río De Camalotes(original) |
Si yo digo verde |
A que usted no piensa |
En el camalote |
Y si digo agua |
Usted no imagina el parana |
Diciembre lo arranca |
Desata su nudo con la madreselva |
Y con el viene el agua |
El viento del norte y la yarara |
Y a su incertidumbre |
Lento lagarto, raices negras |
Se le pega el hambre |
El aire pesado y la inundacion |
Que no se detenga |
Tu marcha lenta rumbo p’al mar |
Es tan semejante |
A nuestro delirio, a la soledad |
Que te empuje el viento |
Mi pensamiento o el temporal |
Fuera de la orilla |
Tu camarilla, camalotal |
El rio que te acuna |
Mete su lengua en el caserio |
Bajo tu llanura |
Juega el dorado, escondiendose |
Silencioso ejercito |
Panza de agua, patas de barro |
Mamotretos de hojas |
Verdes las aguas del invasor |
(translation) |
yes i say green |
that you don't think |
in the camalote |
And if I say water |
You do not imagine the parana |
December kicks it off |
Untie your knot with the honeysuckle |
And with it comes the water |
The north wind and the yarara |
And to your uncertainty |
Slow lizard, black roots |
Hunger hits him |
Heavy air and flooding |
don't stop |
Your slow march towards the sea |
is so similar |
To our delirium, to loneliness |
Let the wind push you |
My thought or the temporary |
off the shore |
Your clique, camalotal |
The river that cradles you |
Put your tongue in the hamlet |
under your plain |
Play the gold, hiding |
silent army |
belly of water, legs of clay |
Leaf Tombstones |
Green the waters of the invader |
