Andamio Pijuan [English translation]

Andamio Pijuán

always bathe in tar

to not see his image

in the mirrors passing by.

That way he can't see the sun

since his sickness began,

covered in dirty tar

he's only a shadow with voice.

Poor Andamio Pijuán

he can't look at himself in the mirror,

he bathes in tar

to not look at himself

to not look at himself

to not look at himself ever.

His desorder began

after he reached the age of two,

while he was playing in a fountain

he had suddenly

his first reason act,

he kneel down before the water to see

how his face was,

but an irresponsable

threw a stone to the fountain

while seeing himself for the first time.

Poor Andamio Pijuán

he can't look at himself in the mirror,

he bathes in tar

to not look at himself

to not look at himself

to not look at himself ever.

The stone hit the water

while Andamio was looking at himself,

and the waves produced

a distortion

in his reflected face.

Because of his short age

he thought he was like that in reality

and decided in that moment

to become an elephant man

covered in tar.

Poor Andamio Pijuán

he can't look at himself in the mirror,

he bathes in tar

to not look at himself

to not look at himself

to not look at himself ever.

And one day by mistake

he fell asleep in broad daylight,

and in that moment

the prevailing warmth

melted the tar.

The police found

only a big stain,

Pijuan had died,

he was consumed

when the tar melted.

Poor Andamio Pijuán

he can't look at himself in the mirror,

he bathes in tar

to not look at himself

to not look at himself

to not look at himself ever.
