Canto arena [English translation]

Today I continued heading for my region

taking signs, deciphering crossroads

my body keeps practicing its matter

my bone cracks and the word is made.

Today I continued domesticating reason

which is full of wonder facing the happened day

I project a quick sketch of the action

I outline versions that forgetting captured.

That's why I sing, sand

rock that afterwards is multitude of good water.

And I sing, foam,

crest that when it succeeds in being it isn't anymore.

I put a blade to the longing heart

I throw stars so they spark against winds

the dream unleashed the song

and today's song tastes like an oath to me.

The hurry carries a miracle and it carries error

but we travel on reared up wheels

I woke up in the eye of the cyclone

I count millions of holes in my soul.

That's why I sing, sand

rock that afterwards is multitude of good water.

And I sing, foam,

crest that when it succeeds in being it isn't anymore.

Today I continued heading to my region

with the sweet whip of a bee in my conscience

today I lost loving with a plan

but I won what it broke with caution.

Today I continued rewinding my watch

with its bell bound to an invisible number

I don't really care where my season will break

if, when it breaks it breaks the impossible

That's why I sing, sand

rock that afterwards is multitude of good water.

And I sing, foam,

crest that when it succeeds in being it isn't anymore.
