Salto Alto
Ases Falsos
High Jump
He who has never done anything
Wants to make me see
That everything is so easy to do
Then he offers me a can that I will accept
And it will taste like bile
It's my sign to leave here
To return your observation to the Mapocho
I look at the sky from the bridge
Towards the northeast
The Virgin in artificial light
And I remember the kangaroos sleeping
So far from their continent
In the zoo
Which is not very logical, no
I should go to bed
High jump, over the railing
I jump, the river and its flow welcome me
And the current drags me with its furious pace
I'm so afraid of dying
Sailing the waves at great speed
As the hours pass, I start to get tired
I gently fall asleep
Rocked in the warm water
High jump, over the railing
I jump, the river and its flow welcome me
And I wake up abandoned on the shore
Of a world I never imagined
