El dia feliz que está llegando [English translation]

A happy day is coming

like a ship does after months

An April day is arriving

at the end of November.

And I grow closer to the sea,

I doubly become brother of the fish.

I light the wood in the home

that saw the storm glow

that guides the course of these months.

A sunny day is coming,

a day of old goblins.

A ferocious bird is arriving

buzzing enjoying your smell.

A time of rabbits is arriving.

And anxiety pokes me

digs at me deeply, here, in the soft part.

It just digs at me to dig,

as if for the happy day that is coming

to sink deeper.
