Libélulas

Dragonflies caress the marigoldsLibélulas acarician las calendulas
Inaugurate a compass that guides to esdrujula rhymesInauguran una brújula que guía a rimas esdrujulas
And buzz their fluttering is beautiful musicY zumban su aleteo es bella música
That fills the guitar with air and for meQue llenan de aire la guitarra y para mi
It's like the salvation of the soulEs como la salvación del alma
That everything it sees, it singsQue todo lo que ve lo canta
And opposes injustice with letters of faithY opone a la injusticia cartas de fe
To stand even if it burnsPara estar de pie aun que arda

Dragonflies unsheathe suicidal flowersLibélulas desenfundan flores suicidas
To lessen the gloomy destruction of meta-aestheticsPara aminorar la tétrica destrucción de meta estética
And buzz with a tiny geniusY zumban con un diminuto genio
They fill the guitar with teeth and for meLlenan de dientes la guitarra y para mi
It's like the assumption of karmaEs como la asunción del karma
And beauty becomes a weaponY la belleza se hace un arma
And takes away the calm and law from the bad onesY quita a los malos su calma y su ley
Law of stupidityLey de estupidez

And the soul that everything it sees, it singsY el alma que todo lo que lo canta
And opposes injustice with letters of faithY opone a la injusticia cartas de fe
To stand even if it burnsPara estar de pie aun que arda
The soul that crying bleedsEl alma que llorando sangra
That keeps all the wounds becauseQue todas las heridas guarda porque
They don't know how to say no to loveNo saben decir que no al amor

And the soul that knows how much the devil keepsY el alma que sabe el diablo cuanto guarda
That bleeds all the wounds because it doesn't know how to not seeQue todas las heridas sangra por que no sabe no ver
The soul and everything it sees, it singsEl alma y todo lo que ve lo canta
And opposes malice with rates of teaY opone a la malicia tasas de te
It will be good for the dawn to come...Hará bien venir el alba...
