Destilando Optimismo

Distilling Optimism

Destilando Optimismo

Chance placed me on the pathEl azar me colocaba en el camino
A stealthy boredom in the wake of a friendshipUn tedio sigiloso a raíz de una amistad
That was so little tickling that I could generateQue tan pocas cosquillas me alcanzaba a generar

A fool settles for a bird at his mercyUn tonto se conforma con un pájaro a su merced
I'm breaking that rule because I always want a hundredYo faltándole a esa norma porque siempre quiero cien

Perseverance Award: I awarded myself your giftsPremio a la perseverancia: Tus dotes me adjudiqué
A follower of your elegance, I was happy that timeSectario de tu elegancia, fui feliz aquella vez

There are fires that cannot be extinguishedEs que hay fuegos que no logran extinguirse
Or that one couldn't, at least, and it must be that I didn't want toO aquel, no pudo, al menos, y será que yo no quise

I become a repressor of my impulsesMe convierto en represor de mis impulsos
My pulse is distortedSe me distorsiona el pulso
And my breathing is absent for a whileY se hace ausente, por un rato, mi respiración
They are reasonable defects due to the lackSon enfectos razonables por la falta
What my soul boasts ofDe lo que mi alma se jacta
To be the owner of your perfection foreverSer la dueña para siempre de tu perfección

A collective joke, and back to fantasizingUna broma colectiva, y de vuelta a fantasear
By taking out even the VAT on this occasionCon sacarte hasta el I.V.A en esta oportunidad

The harmfulness of time will not triumphLa nocividad del tiempo no conseguirá triunfar
Because our idyll will be eternal in realityPorque va a ser eterno nuestro idilio en realidad

Distilling optimism rooted in my securityDestilando optimismo arraigado en mi seguridad
Knowing that you feel the same when you look at meDe saber que lo mismo sentís cuando me mirás

And there are fires that cannot be extinguishedY es que existen fuegos que no logran extinguirse
Or that one couldn't, at least, and it must be that I didn't want toO aquel, no pudo, al menos, y será que yo no quise

I become a repressor of my impulsesMe convierto en represor de mis impulsos
My pulse is distortedSe me distorsiona el pulso
And my breathing is absent for a whileY se hace ausente, por un rato, mi respiración
They are reasonable defects due to the lackSon enfectos razonables por la falta
What my soul boasts ofDe lo que mi alma se jacta
To be the owner of your perfection foreverSer la dueña para siempre de tu perfección
