Aqui e Agora [English translation]

The best place in the world is here and now

The best place in the world is here and now

Here, is the undefined, now is almost as upon

When being light or heavy stops making any sense

Here, is where the eye aims, now as the ear listens

A time in which the voice is mute and the heart contributes

The best place in the world is here and now

The best place in the world is here and now

Here, where the color is light, now, all is dark

Living in Guadalajara within a ripe fig

Here, faraway, in New Delhi, now, seven, eight or nine

Feeling is skin deep, love is all that moves

The best place in the world is here and now

The best place in the world is here and now

By here there is a river , now I saw a lizard

Dying must be as cold as it is being born

Here, out of danger, now, in just a moment

After everything I say even if much long before

The best place in the world is here and now

The best place in the world is here and now
