De Piedra Tu Cuerpo
La Raíz
Of Stone Your Body
We mature like everything and it’s necessary,
To feel at ease before this cliff.
Challenge the world, anger its waves,
And if they hit us, don’t lose our balance.
I tremble, for I’m human and animal,
But I have your hand in case the storm comes.
The fear of drifting through life has died,
Since we lit that fire beneath the sea.
I want the love-crazed to scream,
I want to ask my soul for a favor.
Let my voice return, I’m the blind man who trembles
When talking about your scent.
Let me stay in your room if it’s your house
That the cyclone tears apart, I’ll flirt with the sun.
Let the brave wind blow and wake up
Hundreds of winds forming a hurricane.
Let it topple queens and kingdoms,
And let it collapse to meet you, for someone sculpted
Of stone your body.
Let our desire be of stone,
Let the ink and paper smell like blood.
We need to rip the poison from the jungle,
I want to drink from your breasts again and fall asleep
Embraced by your ideas and your belly.
Moreover, I want to cover the world with my people,
Like a total eclipse, forcing it to surrender.
I want the love-crazed to scream,
I want to ask my soul for a favor.
Let my voice return, I’m the blind man who trembles
When talking about your scent.
Let me stay in your room if it’s your house
That the cyclone tears apart, I’ll flirt with the sun.
Let the brave wind blow and wake up
Hundreds of winds forming a hurricane.
Let it topple queens and kingdoms,
And let it collapse to meet you, for someone sculpted
Of stone your body.
For being a coward, for being a villain,
I point at the man, I point at the man.
Who when leaving the swamp,
Doesn’t cry out to the sky, to the sky your name.
For being a coward and a villain,
We will point at the man,
Who when leaving this swamp,
Doesn’t cry out to the sky your name.
