Psilocybe Mexicana

Along the banks of the Boca on a summer nightPor la ribera de la Boca una noche de verano
I contemplated the stars and the infinite calmContemplaba las estrellas y la calma infinita
The ships seemed asleep on the shoreLos barcos parecían dormidos en la orilla
And beyond the old bridge inspired meY más allá el viejo puente inspirábame
When suddenly I noticed that from the impure riverCuando de pronto advertí que del impuro río
Someone was giving me a signAlguien me hacia una señal
I didn't understand at first and then I approachedDe movida no entendí y entonces me acerque
And I could not understand what my eyes were seeingY no pude comprender lo que mis ojos veían

In the water, dirt and oil, a mermaid swamEn el agua mugre y el aceite nadaba una sirena
With long hair like wheat in the windDe largas cabelleras como trigo al viento
Naked with hard breasts and nipplesDesnuda de pechos y pezones duros
He waved his little hand as if inviting meAgitaba su manita como invitandome

What else could I do in the midst of so much confusion?Más yo que podía hacer entre tanta confusión
Although the water did not tempt me to dive in headfirstSi bien el agua no me tentó a tirarme de cabeza
Nor did I try to notify the prefectureNi tampoco a prefectura intente avisar
For fear of disturbing such a beautiful creaturePor temor a perturbar a tan bella criatura

And we stayed looking at each other, almost penetrating each otherY nos quedamos mirando casi casi penetrandonos
A mermaid of clear waters in my unparalleled turbid riverUna sirena de aguas claras en mi río turbio sin igual
What could I be doing worse without doing anything?Que podía estar haciendo más peor yo sin hacer nada

And suddenly it vanished with the morning mistY de pronto se esfumo con la bruma de la mañana
When the traffic started to get hectic againCuando el tráfico empezaba de nuevo a alborotar
And I, who was doing nothing, decided to walkY yo que no hacia nada decidi caminar
And with wine celebrate the holy apparitionY con vino celebrar la santa aparición

And even if I had the chance, who was I going to tell?Y aunque tuviera la ocasión, a quién le iba a contar
They were sure to accuse me of being immature and psychedelicSeguro me iban a acusar de lisérgico inmaduro
Of a mermaid of clear waters in my unparalleled turbid riverDe una sirena de aguas claras en mi río turbio sin igual
What could I be doing worse without doing anything?Que podía estar haciendo más peor yo sin hacer nada

A mermaid of clear waters in my unparalleled turbid riverUna sirena de aguas claras en mi río turbio sin igual
What could I be doing worse without doing anything?Que podía estar haciendo más peor yo sin hacer nada

And we stayed looking at each other, almost penetrating each otherY nos quedamos mirando casi, casi penetrándonos
Of a mermaid of clear waters in my unparalleled turbid riverDe una sirena de aguas claras en mi río turbio sin igual
