Una Leyenda China

Make a hole in the center of the earth
Deep to reach the other side of the world
And we convert everything that they have kept silent
In the only legend that has never been told

In the past we were birds with four wings
Dragons, snakes, Bengal tigers
Mythology wanted us to be perfect
Until reality turned us into insects

In little grasshoppers that no one would remember
The unrecognized children of philosophy
But with our paws we create new melodies
And we jump over all the dynasties

We come from the simple, from what is not dreamed of
We are the greatness of small things
And we reproduce in thousands of ways
Every time we kiss our body transforms and

What matters no longer matters
What is big is now small
Here reality is more powerful than dreams

We drove the fantasy of the world crazy
Without us having to breathe fire

So, come down from the sky and land on any lot
An oil paper umbrella will make you float
While a mountain of wind wets us
With the aroma of green tea that blows the leaves

The water of the Pacific penetrates the shore
Of a river that runs with yellow skin
Caterpillar cocoons unravel
And they weave silk universes with their thread

When we touch the ground it becomes moist
Inside your belly, the rice that is grown grows
During the day the whole forest rings
And the crickets sing because the harvest is good
