he dejado que la muerte::I have allowed death

 he dejado que la muerte

me socave

no he hecho nada

no puedo recobrarme

y acepto mirar

el sol cada mañana

y a cambio he podido

poner la mesa y

sentarme a comer.

 I have allowed death

to undermine me

I have done nothing

I can not recover

and I agree to look at

the sun every morning

and in return I have been able

to set the table and

sit down to eat.
