(CAS) PALOMA NEGRA
Éramos compañeros
en los sueños de juventud.
Teníamos leído
el libreto del desprecio.
Se enquistaron
los restos de insultos pasados
y la grieta
se expande rápido.
La lealtad
esconde
nuestro odio.
DESPUÉS DE LA VICTORIA
NO NOS HA QUEDADO NADA
MÁS QUE UN ACANTILADO.
NO HAY FORMA
DE MEDIR SU PROFUNDIDAD
HASTA QUE ESTEMOS VOLANDO.
Secuestrados por las mismas
fascinaciones que nos juntaron.
Cada uno escarbando
sus propias heridas negras.
El castillo sigue en pie,
pero, ¿cuál ha sido el precio?
La lealtad
esconde
nuestro odio.
DESPUÉS DE LA VICTORIA
NO NOS HA QUEDADO NADA
MÁS QUE UN ACANTILADO.
NO HAY FORMA
DE MEDIR SU PROFUNDIDAD
HASTA QUE ESTEMOS VOLANDO.
Seres vacíos
en una lucha interminable,
afilando los cuchillos
con gesto de paz.
Paloma negra vuela,
lleva una rama chamuscada.
¿Se deshará
antes de que la cojamos?

(ENG) BLACK DOVE
We were mates
on our boyhood dreams.
We had learned
the script of contempt.
Remains of past insultes
became cysts,
and the crevice
is spreading fast.
Loyalty
conceals
our hatred.
THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT FOR US
AFTER THE VICTORY
BUT A PRECIPICE.
THERE IS NO WAY FOR US
TO KNOW ITS DEPTH
UNTIL WE ARE FLYING.
Abducted by the same passions
that brought us together.
Each digging our own
black wounds.
The castle stands strong,
but what was the price of that?
Loyalty
conceals
our hatred.
THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT FOR US
AFTER THE VICTORY
BUT A PRECIPICE.
THERE IS NO WAY FOR US
TO KNOW ITS DEPTH
UNTIL WE ARE FLYING.
Empty creatures
in an endless fight,
sharpening our knives
with gestures of peace.
Black dove flies,
carries a scorched branch.
Will it be torn apart
before we can touch it?
