Reparador de sueños
Silvio Rodriguez
Dream Repairer
The little dwarf always arrives
with his tools
to loosen hatred and tighten loves.
The little dwarf always arrives,
always an ear inside
eagerly flooding what's broken.
Always moving stones from here,
trash from there, doing work.
This happy little person always
turns the dirty into gold.
Always arrives at the main hall
where the engine that moves the light is.
And always there he does his best task
the dream repairer.
The little dwarf always arrives
to the person,
to the whole town, to the universe.
The little dwarf always arrives
and from that moment on
the silence ends and the chirping appears.
