A la sombra de mi sombra

In the shadow of my shadow
I am making myself a hat;
hat of long straws
that I have picked up from the ground.
I will make it with a wide brim,
that almost reaches the sky
so many times not to see
the things I don't want to see.

I don't want to see injustices or miseries;
I don't want to see soldiers or princesses;
I don't want to see dictatorships or poverties;
I don't want to see rich religions or queens.
I only want to see the poor without misery;
the rich without money naked on this earth;
infinitive hearts united by love
and united against war.

In the shadow of my shadow
I am making myself a hat
but I'm going to stop doing it
to fight with two balls.
