Candil de Nieve
Pablo Milanés
Snow Lantern
You need an escape, catatonic, nocturnal, a brief wind
To the Eden of a Saturday, where a myopic bird lightly awaits you,
From the bad collisions, you can't escape, snow lantern,
And if you see it flying over the lip of another flower
You get angry, you blush snow lantern.
Light up, carnation, when you see the reason at dawn
For what you lacked, then it wasn't enough, but your heart.
I don't think that suffering is that option
That some god gave us to save us;
Don't extinguish the lantern
Or the snow will sink you in the center of pain.
You need an escape to a true world, of madness
And when they come for you, not only will beauty dazzle you.
Other tears await you like passing anxieties on your path
And other muses lighter will paint and play another destiny
Go out to find them, snow lantern.
Light up, carnation, when you see the reason at dawn
For what was given to you, then it wasn't enough, but your heart.
I don't think that suffering is that option
That some god gave us to save us.
Don't extinguish the lantern
Or the snow will sink you in the center of pain.
