Procura [English translation]

I searched the earth, the sea, the blue sky

Inside and outside of me, north to south

What I sought then I didn't know

I asked myself lies and smiled.

When I passed between flowers there I was

And kisses you said I could borrow

But none of the flowers was the flower

None of the lovers was the love.

What I sought then I didn't know

I asked myself lies and smiled

How many paths I walked and lost

In the deadly pathways of my senses.

Then one day the truth came to me

And now I give myself beginning and end

I am all scars and fatigue

But I have in the end the embrace of your arms.
