Distancia que traes Distancia
José Larralde
Distance You Bring Distance
Distance you bring distance,
my shining star's bell.
I galloped through so many footprints
that now I even resemble them.
Twisted in appearance,
but with a certain destiny.
Distance that resurrects
after having reached it.
There's no horse that can beat you,
nor man who has roped you.
If we looked alike before,
today I can't assure it.
How little we resemble each other,
how small the difference is.
You keep going and I stay,
you are earth and I am earth.
My steps opened you up,
and you were there for me to become.
Make the resemblance clear
as if it didn't exist.
A bunch of leagues thrown,
like the seed in flight.
I faced it if I backed down,
and rib blows.
Make the resemblance clear
when I have fallen to my knees.
A bunch of leagues thrown
passes over them...
