Palimpsesto
Inti-Illimani
Palimpsest
It is needless to tell you that I love you more
In the deep pulp of pre-dream
When the glacier turns back to the sun
And our sperm is lost in the endeavor
And our frown solidifies with ashes
Eager to split the thought of the wood
It is needless to tell you, Libertad Osuna
That I dream of you plowing in iron and wise lash
Returning to wander and to shoe without mercy
On a horse and on a spirited sprout
Which is a way of understanding love
And another day that you conquer at a trot
Eager to throw
The earth to rumble
The light to roll
It is needless to doubt that Libertad loving
Will wound me again with the desire to return
What hunger to have Libertad Osuna
Unite you in the memory of the outrage
Remember you and awaken you to flight
Fit your heart with the courage
Attack you relentlessly in the dark room
Where you drink
The insult and its potion
What a man to return so that Osuna is free
Free his name and his swift bodice
His quartz belly and his historical agony
And his chains, his clock, his child
And approach you, unite you, and examine you
With his two hands and his three affections
And his shining
His duty to hurt
The light to come
If the desire is going to burn us in every moon
And we must walk it together, land to land
So that in the roots Libertad unites us
