Como te voy ha enamorar
Entre mil y una li­neas de poesia
Si todas estan en mi lengua mas nativa,
Con el Dios de los salvajes,
En la tribu que no conforma o acepta,
Y ese talisman de mi alma,
Sera solo una de las muchas moleculas atomicas de carbon
que se descomponen en tu suelo capal?
Te pensare mucho, aunque no me dejare estar a tu lado.

How much can I weep, if I know
You won’t understand the 1,001 lines
Of poetry streaming in my native tongue,
From a soul that doesn’t exist,
In a religion that cannot survive,
And a tribe that does not conform?
Though I will think of you often,
I’ll keep my soul from decomposing on your soil
And becoming one of many more carbon based molecules
