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.

地上にて
すべてが私の上に落ちてきて
世界が肩の上で崩れ
何もかもがうまくいかない時
私は静かに涙を流す
それでも最後には光が私にも届くと知っている
昼も夜も星たちは明るく降りそそぎ
たとえ沈んでも私はきっと浮かび上がる
こんなに泣くほどのことではないとわかっている
そうわかっていても
心は痛み
この見知らぬ世界で
地が私にのしかかる時
私はひとりぼっちになる
それでもどうすることもできず
私は地にとらわれ
痛みから遠くへ飛び立つことができない
太陽は私のために輝き
誰にでも光はある
昼も夜も
そして最後には
私は静けさを取り戻し
星の下で眠り
すべては過ぎ去りまた目覚める
太陽の光は再び私を抱きしめ
すべては大丈夫で痛みは薄れていく

A beautiful poem with a marvelous message Carlos. The format alone in its design must have been difficult so as to maintain the meter and flow. Very nice
Honestly, I still don’t know which English version is better, the first one or V2… thank you for your kind words.
It is the Spanish version that is best my friend. You are most welcome
My friend, I know the frustrating divide between recognizing that depression will eventually loosen its grip and finding absolutely no comfort in that knowledge while living through it. You capture that experience with tremendous honesty, Carlos. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
In this case it’s the helplessness of not being able to do anything in a legal proceeding, after so many appeals won and, in the end, for nothing. My legal aid client will walk away with empty hands…
Thank you for leaning out over the balcony of my words
