English:

I was able to see when they put me away,

Thereafter I felt like water and the trip began.

these ruins are our own bodies

Today the sand traps the boats.

They always come and I never understand anything,

Blocks and rays assail my space

In the end they assail my space

Castellano:

Pude ver cuando me guardaron,

luego sentí como agua y el viaje empezó.

Estas ruinas son de estos mismos cuerpos,

hoy las arenas atrapan a los barcos.

Ellos vienen siempre y yo nunca entiendo nada,

bloques y rayas asaltan mi espacio,

finalmente asaltan mi espacio.

LUIS ALBERTO SPINETTA
