Niño Salvaje

Naciste temblando

You were born trembling

Cuando el río sangraba

When the river bled

El horror se enredaba en las orillas

Terror entangled itself on the shores

Y el Sol apenas calentaba

And the Sun barely warmed

Creciste gritando

You grew up screaming

Como un niño salvaje

Like a wild child

Abrazabas al Sol como a tu padre

You embraced the Sun as your father

Amar la Luna era un desgaste

Loving the Moon was wearing

Tú llevas tatuada en la piel

You carry tattooed on your skin

La estrella del destierro

The star of exile

No sabes de hogar ni raíz

You know not of home or root

Envidio eso de ti

I envy that about you

Llegaste gritando

You arrived shouting

Yo no creo en nada

I believe in nothing

Pero la tormenta está a la vuelta

But the storm is around the corner

Y al Dios del viento te encomiendas

And to the God of the wind, you entrust yourself

Acaso el sermón

Perhaps the sermon

No te emocionaba?

Did it not excite you?

Era una montaña tu miseria

Your misery was a mountain

Pero algo en ti se iluminaba

But something in you was illuminated

Yo llevo contigo esa cruz

I carry with you that cross

Justo sobre la herida

Right over the wound

La vida nos dio su fulgor

Life gave us its brilliance

También su mierda

Also its crap

Y ya no soy yo

And it's no longer me

Me quedé en otro lado

I stayed somewhere else

Un resorte enredado en la costilla

A spring tangled in the rib

Me avisa que esta cama es mía

Warns me that this bed is mine
