Vos estim a tots igual

You love everyone the same
I have a zoo inside my house,
the lionesses climb the rocks,
the gorillas eat grass, they are really good girls.
And the sea eagles are more promiscuous than the hens,
the hen says no, that the parrot is more promiscuous.
Because you are animals, because you are my brothers,
because you are so unreal, I love you all the same.
And the sedentary canaries go crazy in the cage,
and the guatleres, how good, I always have to bring new ones.
And the owl knows metaphysics and physics never fails,
how difficult to separate the coals from the coals!
From my frosted windows, from my insufficient sky,
from abandoned streets, from trees so indifferent.
The monkeys in the trees eat bananas from the Canaries,
the parrots argue, the owl makes three layers.
And I don't want to see snakes that scare away the customers,
dolls who think they are the Virgin Mary.
Because you are irrational, because you are elemental,
because you are from sea and sky and earthly like the mud.
