En La Floresta
Fernando DelgadilloLyrics
Translation
Me llené un poco la boca
I filled my mouth a bit
Con el aire de este bosque espeso
With the air of this dense forest
Que me hablara de penumbra y soledades
That spoke to me of shadows and solitudes
Y me puse a ver el sol y el aire
And I started to see the sun and the air
Y me puse a ver clarear
And I started to see it clear
Y me puse a verlo todo
And I started to see everything
Y no me cansé de mirar
And I didn't tire of looking
Era como si me fuera nuevo
It was as if it were new to me
Lo que algún día vi normal
What I once saw as normal
Me quité despacio la pistola
I slowly took off the gun
Que me enfriaba el paladar
That cooled my palate
Ya me estaba sacudiendo
I was already shaking off
De este mundo con un tiro
This world with a shot
Cuando el golpe de la vida en mi cobró
When the blow of life collected from me
Sobre mi sombra y mi suerte y de verdad
On my shadow and my luck, and truly
Que no contaba con el miedo ni el dolor
I didn't count on fear or pain
No iba a hallar explicaciones
I wasn't going to find explanations
Solamente iba a quitarme los recuerdos
I was only going to rid myself of memories
O la vida que era igual
Or life, which was the same
Pero si no iba morirme ni de penas ni recuerdos
But if I wasn't going to die from sorrows or memories
Para que llegué a matarme donde no hay
Why did I come to kill myself where there is nothing
Y aunque el recuerdo es un rato
And although the memory is a moment
Que dejara hace un segundo
That I left behind a second ago
Ya he pensado recordarme y nada más
I've already thought to remember myself and nothing more
A un sujeto que se quita
To a person who removes
La muerte y se la echa a un lado
Death and sets it aside
Ante la ovación de vida forestal
Amidst the applause of forest life
