Translation

Lejos del aire

Far from the air

Lejos de tu lugar

Far from your place

Atrás del biombo

Behind the screen

Atrás del matorral

Behind the thicket


En una calleja azul

In a blue alley

En tu mirada

In your gaze

En esa distancia que no acortarás

In that distance you won't shorten

Que no supe ni pude acortar

That I didn't know how to and couldn't shorten


Dentro del tiempo

Within time

Dentro del viene y va

Within the coming and going

En una sombría tierra

In a gloomy land

En soledad

In solitude


Y tu recuerdo es todo lo que queda

And your memory is all that remains

Es una corriente, un nudo al hablar

It's a current, a knot in speech

Es tu ausencia que nunca se va

It's your absence that never goes away


La Sed de Sed y negar

Thirst for thirst and denial


Una moneda, un cambio, un golpe de mar

A coin, a change, a sea hit

La barra soluble, bebible, etílica

The soluble, drinkable, alcoholic bar

En ciénaga

In the swamp


¿Será que ese llanto se hizo renglón de alguna canción?

Could that cry have become a line in some song?

¿O fue acaso ficción?

Or was it perhaps fiction?


Sé que escalarán tus sueños

I know your dreams will climb

Sé que aún hay espacio ahí dentro

I know there's still space in there

Sé que aún hay tiempo y velos

I know there's still time and veils

Mas roces, menos voces y Dios

More friction, fewer voices, and God


Sé que todo pudo ser cierto

I know everything could have been true

Sé que aun puede ser posible, claro, ven

I know it can still be possible, come on

Sé que aun la rabia enseña

I know even anger teaches


Aun firmes la eterna murga y tú

Still, firm in the eternal carnival, and you

Hay un viento que ve

There's a wind that sees

Hay un viento que quiere ver

There's a wind that wants to see


La barricada que levantamos se esfumó

The barricade we raised disappeared

Esa trinchera muda que se hizo institución

That silent trench became an institution

Y que a servido solo para no ver

And has served only to not see


Sé que ocultaran sus templos

I know they will hide their temples

Sé que cuidaran sus aguas charcas

I know they will guard their water holes

Sé que disfrazaran sus vientos

I know they will disguise their winds


Carroña, una falaz lengua de rodillas reza

Carrion, a deceitful tongue on its knees prays

Sé que no habrás dado un cielo

I know you haven't given a sky

Sé aun puede dar tu angustia y tus dires

I know your anguish and your directions can still give

Aun hay mudos llantos clavados entre la murga y tú

There are still mute cries nailed between the carnival and you

Negar la Sed de Sed

Deny the thirst for thirst
