La belleza [English translation]

Enemy of war

and its reverse, the medal

I did not propose another battle

to free the heart

to lay oneself flat on the ground

beneath the progress of a story

which would raise up into glory

the power of reason

and now there are no trenches

the conflict is the ladder

and he who reaches the very top

will save his head

Although it sinks into the asphalt

the beauty...

Look at them, like reptiles

in pursuit of their prey,

negotiating at each table

with the best masks for the situation;

following all the rails

which lead to the summit,

with insane desire to dazzle us

their parasitic ambition.

In the past they led as prophets

and now success is their only objective;

merchants, dealers,

create a feeling of sadness more than nausea,

they do not touch, even for a moment

the beauty ...

And they talk to me about futures

of brotherhood, of solidarity,

where every fraud

would end up in the gutter.

and now that the wall falls

we are still not so equal,

what you sell is what you're worth

Long live the revolution!

I claim the mirage

of trying to be oneself,

this journey into nothingness

that consists in the certainty

of finding in your face

the beauty ...
