El Seguidor de Arcoiris

The rainbow follower washes his hands
with rainwater and, without shaking off
the nighttime dust, he retraces the path
that death made, for being the first
to open a trail in the jungle
where life would rise.
The follower knows well and respects
his sign on the door
his sign on the door
his sign on the door
his door with a sign.

And he doesn't know, and he doesn't know, and he doesn't know,
and he knows nothing.
And he doesn't know, and he doesn't know, and he doesn't know,
and he knows no one.

Deep down and on the surface, he is
more alone than a mere dead man.
Perhaps the nuances he seeks he will find
in the wings of an angel, among the demons
or in another better universe.
His poor rainbow has two colors:
black and white,
and the rain painted in grays is sad,
how sad, how sad, how sad,
-how sad and how-.

And he doesn't know, and he doesn't know, and he doesn't know, and he knows nothing.
And he doesn't know, and he doesn't know, and he doesn't know, and he knows no one.

The follower has carried other people's children
on his worn knees passing by.
'Whoever sows seeds, will have to water them'.
When he remembers, he empties his pockets on the ground,
tears the papers to dust, the shaving leaf,
although they are just debris he finds
rolling in ditches of any road.
What fear of staying, what fear of staying, what fear of staying
-staying for what fear-.

And he doesn't know, and he doesn't know, and he doesn't know, and he knows nothing.
And he doesn't know, and he doesn't know, and he doesn't know, and he knows no one.

The rainbow follower always says goodbye.
No one knows him halfway through a greeting.
He is a vagabond full of memories
who will be forgotten for being so light,
for not wearing a tie or frowning,
for going to cry where the dogs cry:
at the bottom of a patio, at the bottom of a patio, at the bottom of a patio
-a bottomless patio-.

And he doesn't know, and he doesn't know, and he doesn't know, and he knows nothing.
And he doesn't know, and he doesn't know, and he doesn't know, and he knows no one.

at the bottom of a patio, at the bottom of a patio, at the bottom of a patio,
of a bottomless patio.

And he doesn't know, and he doesn't know, and he doesn't know, and he knows nothing.
And he doesn't know, and he doesn't know, and he doesn't know, and he knows no one.
