lyrics

CRISÁLIDA (XII)

Despertar de encrucijadas
y caminos polvorientos sin respuestas,
pasadizos subterráneos
donde sólo habita el hastío,
oculto en cada brecha.
Caminar a oscuras tentando la piedra,
pisoteando la espiga seca,
para besar de nuevo la tierra
abierta y herida,
como un sexo mancillado
cuando no existe el deseo.

Regresar surcando la niebla.

Amanecer de nuevas luces
que desvelan el secreto.
Despertar cambiando la piel,
matando a la crisálida.


CHRYSALIS (XII)

To awake from crossroads
and dusty paths without answers,
underground passages
where only bore dwells,
hidden in every breach.
To walk in darkness feeling the stone,
stamping on the dry spike,
to again kiss the earth
open and wounded,
like sex sullied
when there is no desire.

To return plowing the fog.

Dawn of new lights
that reveal the secret.
To awake changing the skin,
killing the chrysalis.
