Carta a Leslie Burke [English translation]

Beyond me, beyond us and this world,

I created a world in my eyes to look at you

And with love remade the sky and the deep sea

And if it was not love I would had been able to give more.

I left a longing in your drawn face

For my childish way in wanting you.

We went home, the sun and the wind proclaimed,

Raising their arms when life wanted to raise them.

Inside of me, inside of childhood and this river

I allowed the love and the river to grip my soul

And I swear to God that I am here in this emptiness,

Beyond me, beyond us waiting for you.
