Esperando Nada

Voy a revelar una historia que es

a veces mentira y otras no es verdad.

Me quede sentado esperando la llegada

de la suerte no podia tardar.

Y paso tanto tiempo que llegue

And so much time passed that I began

a ver sombras en color.

Y paso tanta gente por delante

que nadie me vio.

Esperaria de pie que el anochecer

I would wait standing for the nightfall

se fundiera con la tarde y el amanecer.

to merge with the evening and the dawn.

Como un vendaval a mi paso se revuelven

Like a gale, pieces of burnt paper

los trozos de un quemado papel.

Y crecio a mi lado como un arbol

And grew by my side like a tree

toda una ilusion.

Y crecio a su lado monstruosa

And grew on its side monstrous

toda una obsesion.

an entire obsession.

En plena noche, a eso de las tres

y refrescarme antes de repetir.

con libros que en la escuela nunca vi.

cajones un recuerdo que amar.
