Campesina
Naciste un día cualquiera en un lugar,
Donde un árbol y una nube siempre están,
Y se conocen y así confrontan su soledad.
Siendo niña tu juguete llegó a ser
Trascender tu horizonte y conocer
De adolescente, tu adolescencia nunca fue.
Campesina y a tu vida llaman felicidad,
Esa felicidad medida en tu ver, en tu andar,
En ver tu árbol de florido
Y bajo tu nube andar.
Tu corazón un día despertó,
No era mucho el espacio en que se ahogó,
Te equivocaste para elegir no tuviste dos.
Entre lo que deseaste y lo que fue
Entre el sol y la noche que no ves,
Cinco mentiras trajiste al mundo a preguntar.
Te enterraron comentando tu gran felicidad
Esa felicidad, medida en tu ver, en tu andar,
Cerca de tu árbol florido, bajo tu nube he de andar.
Country Girl
You were born on any given day in a place,
Where a tree and a cloud are always there,
And they meet and thus confront their loneliness.
Being a child, your toy became
To transcend your horizon and know
As a teenager, your adolescence was never.
Country girl and they call happiness to your life,
That happiness measured in your seeing, in your walking,
Seeing your flowery tree
And walking under your cloud.
Your heart woke up one day,
There wasn't much space in which it drowned,
You made a mistake in choosing, you didn't have two.
Between what you desired and what was
Between the sun and the night you don't see,
Five lies you brought to the world to ask.
They buried you commenting on your great happiness
That happiness, measured in your seeing, in your walking,
Close to your flowery tree, I will walk under your cloud.
