Miopia [English translation]

From the window

I could see you leaving

Mounted on

That white elephant

Its marble tusks

Shone

While

It took you

To somewhere far from me

While my nearsightedness

Played tricks with me

I couldn't know

If you

Looked back

And found out

That I wasn't hiding

In that giant

Flag

That my eyes bore within them

So tightly opened

Just to see you

Going away

Looking stunning

Mounted on that elephant

And I

Even admit

It all was so beautiful

Really really beautiful
