1977 [English translation]

1970, 1970

1970, 1970

I was born one day in June

In the year '77

Planet Mercury

And the year of the snake

Without "O" obviously

Tattooed on my forehead

That in my mother's belly

Marked the next step

It makes me cry

With no anesthesia in the stretcher

My father only said, "It's Ana Maria"

If it would be the first cry

That I would try

Burning the wounds

And giving me the drum

It tended to be, then, like an open book

But I read the small print of the text

Like an architect

Constructing each effect

Correct, incorrect, I know to learn all about that

Knowing that some people

Want the damage

Going up the step

It takes time, it takes a year

With my stuffed animal, watching the everyday

Drawings transformed

And the winter in great summer

Dad gave me, under my insisting,

A game, I tried to blame you and [recibencia]*

But in the [cartu]* they made the competition

And that was when I felt my first impotence

Don't tell me no

Because one gets by without

All that changes will make it different

In the year when the snake was born

My adolescence

Was a bizarre phase

The body is a drum

And the head a guitar

The orchestra [narronato]*

Nothing broken for the glance

Of a girl who only carves swords

Hormone quickly

Overpopulated with no forms

In which seasons change

You walk at a crossroads

Of which each is your dwelling

I prepared the bait

The sacred Diablada dance

Of an angry glance

My line, the truth

I never seek its seat

My search was mere

Process of pure battery

Pupil of poet

That marked our saliva

In the mountain range that watched the journey

The military parade of monotonous pace

Polychrome colors

Uniforms of little hue

I detonate my questioning

The voice did sound, right?

My first rhyme that I sound

And I roll myself up

My search was not for my stage thing

It was something necessary

That already marked my error

So all

More than the necessary

Was when I understood

That everyone wants to be a pirate
