Un Instante Antes
Me hiciste señales que debí entender
Como aquel gesto nuevo de arreglarte el pelo
Miraste como quien mira llover
Un instante antes de levantar vuelo
Volviste a tu cauce de estrella fugaz
Con tu punto de fuga en el cielo
Creo que ya estabas flotando quizás
Un instante antes de levantar vuelo
Ya te mojabas en otro deshielo
Un instante antes de levantar vuelo
Ni todas las líneas del Ecuador
Ni el temor y sus muchos anzuelos
Todo argumento perdía valor
Un instante antes de levantar vuelo
El río cambia y cambia la sed
Lo habías leído en tu anhelo
Estaba ya escrito mucho antes de
El instante antes de levantar vuelo
Ya me mirabas desde otro cielo
Un instante antes de levantar vuelo
A Moment Before
You signaled me that I should have understood
Like that new gesture of fixing your hair
You looked as if watching the rain
A moment before taking flight
You returned to your course as a shooting star
With your vanishing point in the sky
I think you were already floating maybe
A moment before taking flight
You were already getting wet in another thaw
A moment before taking flight
Not all the lines of the Equator
Nor the fear and its many hooks
Every argument was losing value
A moment before taking flight
The river changes and changes the thirst
You had read it in your longing
It was already written long before
The moment before taking flight
You were already looking at me from another sky
A moment before taking flight
