Retirada, Niño Del Fin Del Mundo

You happened to be born in this corner of the end of the world
In the midst of this feast of snakes and jackals
You had to grow up in this time, which is nothing more than an immense pile of loneliness
Child of children who have just grown up, the world is aging by force
Child of the end of the world, a candle in the storm, a clandestine door in the wall
Child from the end of the world, I bring you the hugs you need
My last and poor barricades, the whole world to change and the heart in this retreat

Child
That you came to this world
Huge eyes
And the clear soul
Child
In no man's land
Clay angel
Open your wings
Please

A child was born
In the city
From a grey sky
In storm
One neighborhood, one country
A drop in the ocean
A latitude
A matter of chance
A little south
A little back
An upside-down map
An Eden without a place

A little boat in the middle
From the fury of the high seas winds
At the mercy of fate
Saffron puppet
In a ruthless and criminal circus
From a mean clown

In the trenches
Where battles are lost
With the cheater
Who pays for his medals
An angel alone
Facing the cannibal of his brothers
With a dirty coin
In the white palm of your hands

Child
From the end of the world
Light at the end of my deepest cry
I who was a child until yesterday
And the world has killed me sometimes
I can give you my cross
And a poor dream

Lost dream on a map of yesterday
Old notebooks bleeding poetry
The tenacious prophecy of a better world

The song to erase
From your wings the scars
Passwords to enter
The secret of the happy

Every time the sun rises
Serenely and furiously

You are going to sow with your life
The seeds of a lost world
About a future newborn

You will be able to build in the mud
New maps, and new paths
On the beach of times to come
Finding a secret of light

The Sun of a new dawn shines
On a sky that is about to be born
The sun shines and begins again
Another miracle of this endless cycle
When leaving a kiss and a flower
In this mysterious world of cardboard

The ephemeral world stage
Of our poor wonder

The carnival has already given its performance
A lost neighborhood of rags and coal
Hang colored pennants
In this cardboard sky
The truck leaves and the curtain falls
Hold on Catalina says goodbye
To the neighborhood the heart

Goodbye goodbye carnival
Lost and fleeting world
Always save me a place
Where to return
Goodbye goodbye carnival
For your happy brevity
Catalina is leaving
To return

Goodbye goodbye carnival
