Vientos de otras tierras

Winds from other lands

Where is my kingdom, where my crown
where is my throne, where is the light
Where my castle, where my armor
where my princess, where were you

Everything is dark, where is my court
where is my battlement, where did my youth go
Where my hope, where is my shield
where is my sword, where were you

And if the winds that reach you are from other lands
and your sea turns into sand
and your desires into restlessness
Keep in mind that I am a pacifist, saying no to war
and I even let them arrest me
if you are the one selling me out
at least say goodbye, without hard feelings and without nonsense
neither your hair is made of gold nor your comb of fine silver.

Where is the blindfold, that has me blind
where is the poison, that poisoned me
where is the door, so that an exile
is not a martyrdom, for my heart

And now I know that the wind sweeps away promises
and that beauty does not live within you
in some stories, they eat partridges
may they not baptize me as a loser
I have never feared storms
because after the tempests
the sun shines on everyone
and now that I'm worth it and not worth it
and now that I'm your puppet
without a puppet theater.
At least say goodbye
go quickly, don't be calm
turn your few caresses
into abundance in my soul.

And if there are winds reaching you from other lands
and your sea turns into sand
and your desires into restlessness
I am a pacifist, saying no to war
and I even let them arrest me
if the ones you deliver are you.
