La Enredadera

The Vine

La Enredadera

Everything divided among allEl todo dividido en todos
is so clear in your eyesse ve tan claro en tus ojos
and it clings to the viney prende de la enredadera
that comes from you.que sale de ti

It's the beauty of the plantsEs la belleza de las plantas
that always match with everythingque siempre hacen juego con todo
and each one, in their own wayy cada uno, a su modo
should notice it.lo debe advertir

And it carries the pages of a booky lleva las hojas de un libro
and the sound of the sea insidey el sonido del mar adentro
and crosses through the open skyy cruza por el cielo abierto
and reaches a garden.y llega a un jardín

It spills out among a thousand handsse desparrama entre mil manos
it tangles leg, chest, elbowse enreda pierna, pecho, codo
and somehow it submerges mey me sumerge de algún modo
in the depths of the sea.en el fondo del mar

It tells me: here you'll be safeMe dice: aquí estarás seguro
here the rules don't applyaquí no se aplican las reglas
or nothing but the eternal oneso nada mas que las eternas
that make the earth spin.que son las que hacen la tierra girar

There's nothing special about itNada tiene de especial
knowing how to swim at my agesaber nadar a mi edad
and that's what I had to choosey eso tuve que elegir
to rise or let myself sink.subir o dejarme hundir

I breathe without fear of the waterRespiro sin temor del agua
and see things that scare mey veo cosas que me asustan
but they're the ones I like the mostpero son las que mas me gustan
that's why I slide down a slide.por eso desciendo en un tobogán

And I ask for explanationsY pido las explicaciones
and even though she doesn't have to give themy aunque no tiene porque darlas
she sits, looks at me, and talksse sienta me mira y me habla
about everything I want to hear.de todo lo que yo la quiera escuchar

And I demand to see those rootsY exigo ver esas raices
and she replies: whenever you wanty ella contesta: cuando quieras
and all the other nonsensey todas las demás tonteras
that comes to my mind, she does for me.que a mi se me ocuerren, las hace por mi

And she feeds off the waterY se alimenta desde el agua
which is the reflection of lifeque es el reflejo de la vida
and heals all her woundsy cura todas sus heridas
with a movement she makes while dancing.con un movimiento que hace al bailar

I feel like the only witnessMe siento el único testigo
of the beauty, though it's not truede la belleza, aunque no es cierto
since everyone has their own templepues cada cual tiene su templo
and I have mine in the depths of the sea.y yo tengo el mío en el fondo del mar

There's nothing special about itNada tiene de especial
knowing how to swim at my agesaber nadar a mi edad
and that's what I had to choosey eso tuve que elegir
to rise or let myself sink.subir o dejarme hundir
