Canción del elegido(original) |
Siempre que se hace una historia |
Se habla de un viejo, de un niño o de sí |
Pero mi historia es difícil: |
No voy a hablarles de un hombre común |
Haré la historia de un ser de otro mundo |
De un animal de galaxia |
Es una historia que tiene que ver |
Con el curso de la Vía Láctea |
Es una historia enterrada |
Es sobre un ser de la nada |
Nació de una tormenta |
En el sol de una noche |
El penúltimo mes |
Fue de planeta en planeta |
Buscando agua potable |
Quizás buscando la vida |
O buscando la muerte |
Eso nunca se sabe |
Quizás buscando siluetas |
O algo semejante |
Que fuera adorable |
O por lo menos querible |
Besable, amable |
Él descubrió que las minas |
Del rey Salomón |
Se hallaban en el cielo |
Y no en el África ardiente |
Como pensaba la gente |
Pero las piedras son frías |
Y le interesaban calor y alegrías |
Las joyas no tenían alma |
Sólo eran espejos, colores brillantes |
Y al fin bajo hacia la guerra… |
¡perdón! |
quise decir a la tierra |
Supo la historia de un golpe |
Sintió en su cabeza cristales molidos |
Y comprendió que la guerra |
Era la paz del futuro: |
Lo más terrible se aprende enseguida |
Y lo hermoso nos cuesta la vida |
La última vez lo vi irse |
Entre el humo y metralla |
Contento y desnudo: |
Iba matando canallas |
Con su cañón de futuro |
(translation) |
Whenever a story is made |
They talk about an old man, a child or themselves |
But my story is difficult: |
I'm not going to tell you about an ordinary man |
I will make the story of a being from another world |
Of a galaxy animal |
It is a story that has to do |
With the course of the Milky Way |
It's a buried story |
It is about a being out of nothing |
born out of a storm |
In the sun of a night |
the penultimate month |
It went from planet to planet |
Looking for drinking water |
maybe looking for life |
Or looking for death |
That is never known |
Perhaps looking for silhouettes |
or something similar |
that was adorable |
Or at least lovable |
kissable, kind |
He discovered that the mines |
Of King Solomon |
They were in heaven |
And not in burning Africa |
how people thought |
But the stones are cold |
And he was interested in warmth and happiness |
The jewels had no soul |
They were just mirrors, bright colors |
And finally down to war... |
forgiveness! |
I meant to the ground |
He knew the story of a blow |
He felt ground crystals on his head |
And he understood that the war |
It was the peace of the future: |
The most terrible thing is learned immediately |
And what is beautiful costs us our lives |
The last time I saw him go |
Between the smoke and shrapnel |
Happy and naked: |
I was killing scoundrels |
With his cannon of the future |
