Noches de boda [English translation]

May your make-up not quench your laughter

may the luggage not weigh your wings,

may the calendar not hurry you along

may the dictionary stop the bullets.

May the blinds correct the northen lights

may the "I want" win the war against "I can"

may those who wait not count the hours

may those who kill die of fright.

May the end of the world find you dancing

may the spotlight wash away my white hairs

may you never know when or how

or one hundred in the bush, or today or tomorrow.

May the heart never ron out of fashion

may the autumns tan your skin golden

may every night be a wedding night

may the honeymoon never set.

May every night be a wedding night

may every moon be a honeymoon.

May the truth be free of inhibitions

may the lies look exactly like lies

may the mirrors not agree with you

may what you see be of good use to you.

May helplesness not take care of you

may every supper be your last supper

may being brave not turn out so costly

may being coward bot be worth it.

May they not buy for less than nothing

may they not sell you love without thorns

may they not lull you to sleep with fairytales

may they not close the pub on the corner.
