¿soy yo?
¿soy yo?
En la medida que me despoje
de miedos, dudas, esperanzas;
que me deshaga de verdades
y mentiras;
dé fin a afectos y odios;
deje remordimientos;
me olvide de olvidos perennes;
ensaye absoluta indiferencia
frente a las estatuas y caminos,
lo que permanece o se aleja;
venza la tristeza;
me despoje de todo a cuanto
pueda referírseme,
así, posiblemente

Am I?
To the extent that I strip
of fears, doubts, hopes;
I dispose of truthsand lies;
end affections and hatreds;
do away with remorse;
deal with perennial omissions;
To the extent that I strip
of fears, doubts, hopes;
I dispose of truthsand lies;
end affections and hatreds;
do away with remorse;
deal with perennial omissions;
try absolute indifference
in front of the statues and roads,
what stays or leaves;
triumph over sadness;
strip myself of everything
in front of the statues and roads,
what stays or leaves;
triumph over sadness;
strip myself of everything
that refers to me,
then, possibly
