La eternidad imaginaria
Luis Alberto Spinetta
The Imaginary Eternity
That was how the god of war
crumbling crushed the light of souls.
Then the angels fled
adopting the form of useless leaves of time.
But some of them always
remember the shapes of earthly paradise.
And some climb to fight
and a light in the blood of another god.
This was your future destiny
tireless traveler of the tornado.
And the light of your inert star
shining will glow over the graves.
And the living and the dead will be taken
to the very meadows of the imaginary eternity.
And the sword of the lord will lead us
towards the sun, towards the center of his light.
