Bohemio

I feel like a dreamer, I have theMe siento soñador, tengo la idea
jumbled idea of projects that scare me.revuelta de proyectos que me espantan.
My house is almost the sky, a rooftop,Mi casa es casi el cielo, una azotea,
and I live as I please, on the fly...y vivo como quiero, a la marchanta...

My life has been set on fire by bohemiaMi vida se ha incendiado de bohemia
with a color bordering on restlessness,con un color rayano en inquietud,
my verses are the bread, the bread that rewardsmis versos son el pan, el pan que premia
so much desolation and youth.tanta desolación y juventud.

Bohemian,Bohemio,
I feel the most perverse pleasuresiento el placer más perverso
in commenting with my verseen comentar con mi verso
what friendship kept silent.lo que calló a la amistad.
Bohemian,Bohemio,
no one ties me down and I survivenadie me ata y me mantengo
with the income I don't havecon la renta que no tengo
and will never have.y que no tendré jamás.
My lifeMi vida
never used comfortnunca usó del acomodo
and if it always raised the elbowy si siempre empinó el codo
I always do it... for a change...lo hago siempre... pa' variar...
because I believepues creo
it's worse, but more beautiful,que es peor, pero más bello,
than putting a stamp on everything:que ponerle a todo el sello:
legal tender...moneda curso legal...

I know about the vile dream and the chimeraYo sé del vil ensueño y la quimera
because I encounter them at every moment.porque a cada momento los encuentro.
The bad thing is that I enjoy myself insideLo malo es que me gozo por adentro
with things I practice on the outside.con cosas que practico por afuera.

I went out with the lantern and they turned it off,Salí con la linterna y la apagaron,
it was turned off by the woman of my anxiety,la apagó la mujer de mi ansiedad,
and they say I'm in the dark, but they missed the mark,y dicen que ando a oscuras, mas la erraron,
I know that the truth illuminates me.yo sé que me ilumina la verdad.
