La aventura de la abeja reina [English translation]

Something in the gardens

is calling for me endlessly.

The rain in the leaves

seems trustworthy

Blessed be this wind

and behind the walls

I hear something telling me:

"Welcome!

I knew you would come here

to this cave

I suppose you're going to get used

to the total silence

Inferior world

that is eternal

like evil itself.

This way, there will be no other light

for tomorrow

to lament

while dying

the desert of the thirst for loving

and for blossoming

you will never escape from here!

Oh, oh!"

Without leaving my wonder

I begin observing

thousands of beehives

burning in the fire

millions and millions of deaf tapirs

("Oh my God")

"but this is hell"

I told myself.

Well, I don't care

I know very well

that I will get out of here

out of your beehive

maybe the lights

that will rise will bring Peace

that colour so different

to this, without a doubt

and I know that I won't care

if I die in the light of one summer

while biting my prey

while giving up

leaving my sting in it

Oh, oh!

That way, without noticing

I broke the riddles

and in an insane impulse

I left the cave

and I heard the lightning sound

and I ran through a thousand flower beds

where shy flowers

died with the rain.

In that instant I understood

that explaining this to someone

would be useless.

The lights trembled

with the fury of the wind

and the wet leaves

with pearls of the dawn

saw me flee.

Oh, oh!
