Silencio

 

                        tan triste como la luna helada

                        una sola lágrima llora, suspendida

                        en la noche constelada

 

                        tímida y perdida flota

                        la nota clara de la flauta

                        dentro de la orquesta

 

                        espinada y demasiada dolorosa

                        el ultimo pétalo de la rosa

                        cae, quieta y graciosa

 

                        pura, tranquila, y resignada

                        la toda de la vida

                        se anula en el hondo de nada

Silence

 

                        sad as the frozen moon

                        a single teardrop cries, suspended

                        in the star-filled night

 

                        lost and shy floats

                        the note of the flute

                        within the orchestra

 

                        thorny and completely pained

                        the last petal of the rose

                        falls, calm and graceful

 

                        pure, tranquil, and resigned

                        everything of life

                        dissolves into the depth of nothing
