Cae la noche en Okinawa
Fito Páez
Night Falls in Okinawa
The sun fades into the sea
all the sparkles disappear
it's nothing but an illusion
something bigger than God.
Nothing can move
everything's on tiptoes
it's the poison of the flower
that takes your breath away.
Things that time took away
things that time erased
epiphany of the heart
prayer is born on the skin.
Where do you think you're going?
moon that wets the sea
while you dream of falling asleep
the whole world is still here.
Dream that dreams that is
something that dreams in turn
but the morning star rises to shine
and points us a path, points the way
in the deep, serene night it arrived.
