Hit Rock Bottom

Silvio Rodriguez

Tocado Fondo

Tocando fondo nací un buen día,
tocando fondo ando todavía.
Menos hermosos que como fuera,
menos odioso que de otra manera.
Me declaro imperfecto
pateando la sombrilla.
Prefiero ser abierto
a pasearme anunciando
que soy la maravilla.
Me publico completo,
me detesto probable.
Si uno no se desnuda
se transfigura en reto
todo lo desnudable.
Tocando fondo, como ir cantando,
es algo hondo, que no anda esperando.
No tocar duro nuestras verdades
levantando muros, pudre capitales.
Quizás sea inoportuno
o acaso delirante.
Soy de tantas maneras
como gente pretenda
nomás calificarme.
Asumirse los fueros
es no dictaminarse.
Me publico completo,
me espero mejorable
desde mi parlamento
de guitarra sonante.
Tocando fondo nací un buen día,
tocando fondo ando todavía.

Hit Rock Bottom

Hitting rock bottom, I was born one fine day,
Hitting rock bottom, I still am.
Less beautiful than I used to be,
Less hateful than in another way.

I declare myself imperfect
kicking the umbrella.
I prefer to be open
to walk around announcing
that I am the wonder.

I publish myself completely,
I probably hate myself.
If one does not undress
they transform into a challenge
everything that can be undressed.

Hitting rock bottom, like singing,
it's something deep, not waiting around.
Not hitting hard our truths
building walls, rotting capitals.

Maybe it's untimely
or perhaps delirious.
I am in so many ways
as people pretend
just to qualify me.

Accepting the privileges
is not judging oneself.
I publish myself completely,
I expect to improve
from my parliament
of resonant guitar.

Hitting rock bottom, I was born one fine day,
Hitting rock bottom, I still am.
