Mariposa [English translation]

Every failure,

every imprecision,

every detail,

all under control.

Every right answer,

every approximation,

every scene

under supervision.

Chance

put on the disguise

of a butterfly

who gave herself up to the sky.

By releasing its effect,

it caressed us.

You can't imagine

how I would be

if love had waited one more second.

Neither my gestures,

nor my own voice,

nor my kisses would be ours today.

Chance

put on the disguise

of a butterfly

who gave herself up to the sky.

By releasing its effect,

it caressed us.

Chance

put on the disguise

of a butterfly

who gave herself up to the sky.

By releasing its effect,

it caressed us.

If you want to come

with me to look for

the exact formula for reality,

try to write to everyone else.

Make sure no one hears us leaving!

(Every question of every answer,

of every person, of every planet,

of every reflection, of every comet,

of every wish, of every star...)
