En El Laberinto

I’m blowing circles with smoke
While I think about what to do.
Burning books one by one
While I think about what to read.
I don’t get the reasons
And I can’t see the end of the sea.
I’ve got the ace of hearts
But no one to love.

Like you
I’m still in the labyrinth.
Like you
I’m still in the labyrinth.
Like you
Egyptian hieroglyphs
That I wish I could decode,
Trying to keep a balance
So hard to hold.

The earthly and the sacred
Spin around me.
Before me a golden calf
And behind me the revolution.
Like you
I’m still in the labyrinth.
Like you
I’m still in the labyrinth.
Like you

I spend nights, I spend days,
Watching the plants grow.
Philosophy books
On the mystery of being.
I count the ripples in the water,
Counting and they never end.
And I talk to the statues
And they don’t talk back to me.

Like you
I’m still in the labyrinth.
Like you
I’m still in the labyrinth.
Like you...
