La era está pariendo un corazón - Silvio Rodríguez

I've asked even my shadow
how to laugh while the scene shows
a mirror being broken by the screams
trembling in the sacred chest,
banging against its walls.

My shadow said
"Laugh is in the echoed air,
the light just eclipses the silence".
Then I desperately quieted
and listened the ghost whisper:
There's no absolute darkness.

A heart is being borned:
we've already lost its body
and broken its cage;
if nobody catches it,
just will disappear.

And if I runned away,
would you still close your eyes?
Would you still feel me alive
if I cried for the melting sun?
Sky must be burned.
Then prove me.
