La petxina [English translation]

Love and its reminiscence, who freed me

From people, this place and time itself,

Magically filled my very life

With beautiful gleams of gold and silver.

One day, in the evening, it arrived dissipating all mirages:

I bid them all farewell - everything must fade and die -

And (in my hand) crumbled, somewhat reluctantly,

A seashell come from distant beaches.
