Caigo::I fall
CAIGO
Cada bala
que se dispara en esta ciudad,
nos hiere a todos.
Caigo una vez más:
por mi tío,
por tu hermano,
por el niño en la tele,
por los que desconozco.
Por las madres,
por los hijos,
por sus lágrimas,
por sus oraciones,
por los buenos,
por los malos,
por el amor truncado:
caigo.

I FALL
Each bullet
that gets fired in this city,
hurts us all.
I fall once again:
for my uncle,
for your brother,
for the child on TV,
by those I don't know.
For the mothers,
for the children,
for their tears,
for their prayers,
for the good,
for the ill,
for the truncated love:
I fall.
