Com un arbre nu [English translation]

Like a naked tree,

like a picture drawn by the wind,

like a naked tree,

[am] I, the bird.

Like a port in1 the sea,

a silent world,

the home of love,

like a port in the sea,

[am] I, the boat.2

The whole infinity at once

and the absolute silence.

We're the entire world

and yet nothing at all.

Close your eyes: we are the spirit.

Open your eyes: we are the body.

We're the light of the sun,

and the dark of the night.

Like an empty book

where my name is written.

Like an empty book,

[am] I, this word.

Like a song,

a game of sound,

a game of tone.

Like a song,

[am] I, the chord.

1. "of"2. "vessel"
