Lápiz Y Tinta

Pen and Ink

Lápiz Y Tinta

Canvas, ribbon, starting over again.Tela, cinta, otra vez a empezar.
Pencil, ink, and stealing from the landscape.lápiz, tinta, y al paisaje a robar.
And the pleasure of rediscoveringy al placer de reencontrar
the limbo of a time that slips away.el limbo de un tiempo que se nos va.
Book, cloud, that's my rest.Libro, nube, ese es mi descanso.
Tree, fountain, every time I wake up.árbol, fuente, cada vez que despierto.
To be a sleeper. To camouflage in the foam of a whim.ser durmiente. en la espuma de un antojo camuflarse.
For complete innocence,para completa inocencia,
to wander in the cauldrons of dreams.en las calderas del sueño divagar.
As the days go by, they are a river.Que los días se van, río son.
Now I want to feel, to walk.ahora quiero sentir, caminar.
Now I want to paint, to perceiveahora quiero pintar, percibir
the color of that flower that will wither.el color de esa flor que se marchitará.
I paint, green landscapes of desolate beauty,Pinto, verdes parajes de belleza desolada,
I live the ephemeral and its value.vivo lo efímero y su valor.
I drink, I gulp down the waste of my life,bebo, apuro desperdicios de mi vida,
I gather myself in the temperance of the truce that gives meme recojo en la templanza de la tregua que me da
the anesthesia of memory.la anestesia del recuerdo.
As the days go by, they are a river,Que los días se van, río son,
now I want to feel, to walk,ahora quiero sentir, caminar,
now I want to paint, to perceiveahora quiero pintar, percibir
the fleeting summer that is already leaving.el verano fugaz que ya se nos va.
Pencil, ink, and the pleasure of rediscovering.Lápiz, tinta, y al placer de reencontrar.
