Mujer de madera [English translation]

Show me your loneliness

and I will teach you mine

to keep ourselves company

and so that the sorrow no longer hurts.

Show me your nakedness—

I cover you up with mine

in order for new leaves to grow

and so that you finally smile.

Tell me who hurt you so much, woman of wood.

I want to give you my entire life.

I, who cherished you so much, woman of wood,

it is my dream that you love me.

I miss so much your smile

that your sorrow stole from you.

(I went away.)

If silence changed us

and we lost all hope—

if life deceived you,

this love did not forget you.

That which was desolate,

new water inundated

and a way forward without hard feelings.

The sun rises—

(igniting that tormented past)

the sun rises—

(new birds migrating during our encounter)

put to sleep your branches in love.

Tell me who hurt you so much, woman of wood.

I want to give you my entire life.

I, who cherished you so much, woman of wood,

it is my dream that you love me.

I miss so much your smile

that your sorrow stole from you.

In your eyes,

the mystery—

the hope

that one day you will not go away from me.

(Tell me who hurt you so much, woman of wood.)

I want to give you my entire life.

(I, who cherished you so much, woman of wood,)

it is my dream that you love me.

I miss so much your smile

that your sorrow stole from you—and she went away—

and she went away.
