Cuando Duermo Veo Claro
Joan Manuel Serrat
When I Sleep, I See Clearly
When it rains, I dance alone, dressed in seaweed, gold, and scales, a canvas of choppy seas and a bit of scarlet sky, a bird does flips and throws branches, the pirate's mansion is a wide sunflower.
When it rains, I dance alone, dressed in seaweed, gold, and scales.
When I laugh, I'm hunchbacked in the swamp of the threshing floor, I deck myself out like an ancient man and chase the farm girl, and between the pines and thicket, I plant my flag; with a sack sewing awl, I slay the monster I won't name.
When I laugh, I'm hunchbacked in the swamp of the threshing floor.
When I sleep, I see clearly, crazy from a sweet poison, with pearls in each hand, I live inside a shell; I'm the source of a ravine and I'm the den of a beast, -or the moon that tunes itself as it dies behind the slope.
When I sleep, I see clearly, crazy from a sweet poison.
