Las décimas [English translation]

My guitar is the key

of this subtle maze

and no matter you think different

only with it you get out.

The instrument knows

with what string it vibrates

and even when to be quiet

to not call the attention

if it's another the pretension

of who came to sing.

«Disolved, null ,void

and forever without validity»,

that's how I declare the pain

I'm loosing from today.

I don't even expect the change,

it's a matter of dignity;

I prefer the lightness

of walking without a cross on my shoulders

and that way over my rubble

I declare my freedom.

I'm like the native mount

more than firewood and fruit tree,

more than commercial value,

more than farming land.

I twist myself and survive

and I grow in my own intention;

thorns for the thief

fruit and flower to who asks for it-

the homicidal clearcutting

encourages my insurrection.

On time I get away,

I know to keep your secrets

ten line stanza that I respect,

I respect you and admire you.

On a thread hangs the whisper

of the teenage love

that is forgotten by the people

who have lost the worth

of giving all for love

without losing oneself in the flow.
