Anatomy of a Wave

Anatomia de Una Ola

Today I must sail and discoverHoy he de navegar y descubrir
the taste of sea salt,el sabor a sal del mar,
on the crest of which wave did I leave my saddleen la cresta de qué ola dejé mi silla de montar

Sheltered by weathered skin,Al abrigo de una piel curtida,
wrapped in the experience of a lifearropado por la experiencia de una vida
like that toothpick that floatedcomo aquel palillo que flotara
in an immense ocean that once mistreated it,en un inmenso océano que alguna vez lo maltratara,
that never sank nor guidedque nunca hundiera ni guiara

Anatomy of a wave...Anatomía de una ola...

BorderlineLínea fronteriza
between two scenesentre dos escenas
Two ways of life,Dos formas de vida,
one's own and the other'sla propia y la ajena
The same waveUna misma ola
breaks on two shoresrompe en dos orillas
The one illuminated on its own,La alumbrada por sí sola,
the one illuminated by light bulbsla alumbrada por bombillas
