Yo, mi escondite
Yo, mi escondite
Por ver el verde de los árboles
dejo de mirar los árboles;
por oler el aroma de la rosa
y ver sus colores
paso desapercibida la rosa;
por oír el canto de los pájaros
y admirar sus colores
y envidiar sus vuelos
desconozco aún el más común
de los pájaros;
por ver el agua
se me escapa el río
como la playa y las olas
y las velas y los peces
me ocultan el mar
y las luces y los carros,
las torres, la gente,
los puentes y túneles
no me permiten mirar la ciudad.
Como yo
que en mis miedos y dudas,
verdades, mentiras,
afectos y odios,
remordimientos y olvidos,
me oculto.

Me, my hiding place
In order to see the green of the trees
I don't look at the trees;
in order to smell the scent of the rose
and view its colors
I don't notice the rose;
in order to hear the birds singing
and admire their colors
and envy their flights
I don't even know the most common
of birds;
seeing the water
the river escapes me,
like the beach and the waves
and the sails and the fish
hide the sea from me
and the lights and the cars,
the towers, the people,
the bridges and the tunnels
don't allow me to see the city.
As I
in my fears and doubts,
truths, lies,
affection and hatred,
remorse and oblivion,
I hide.
