ON EARTH
When it falls upon me,
when the world collapses over my shoulders,
when everything goes wrong, I cry in silence.
And I know that, in the end, the light reaches me too,
those stars, day and night, falling bright upon me,
and I know I will float even if I drown,
that none of this is worth so many tears.
And even knowing that,
how badly I feel,
so alone when the earth falls on me,
this world that feels so strange.
And despite it all, I cannot help it,
and I find myself trapped by the earth,
unable to fly far from pain.
I know the sun shines for me,
there is light for everyone,
day and night,
and, in the end,
I will grow calm,
and sleep beneath the stars,
and everything will pass and I will wake again.
And the sun’s rays will embrace me once more,
and nothing will happen, and I will forget.

EN LA TIERRA
Cuando nos cae encima,
cuando se me cae el mundo,
cuando todo va mal, lloro en silencio.
Y sé que, al final, también me ilumina la luz,
esas estrellas, noche y día, que me caen luminosas,
y al final sé que flotaré aunque me ahogue,
que todo no es para tanto llorar.
Y, a pesar de saberlo,
qué mal me encuentro,
tan solo cuando me cae la tierra
de este mundo que me es tan extraño.
Y, a pesar de todo, no puedo remediarlo más,
y me encuentro atrapado por la tierra,
y no puedo volar lejos del dolor.
Sé que el sol brilla para mí,
para todos hay luz,
de día y noche,
y, al final,
me apaciguaré
y dormiré bajo las estrellas,
y todo pasará y volveré a despertar.

And the sun’s rays will embrace me once more,
