a papá
Trinta anos despois
e tras un milleiro de batallas perdidas
na rixidez dos meus músculos
por fin te encontro
No olor doce da suor
no medio laio que sae da gorxa
involuntario cando me incorporo
por fin te encontro
Trinta anos despois
tesos coma dous troncos aboiando no río
que anchea e se ralentiza
por fin te encontro
Na miña esencia inflexíbel
fonte teimuda e inesgotábel
de canta dor existe
por fin te entendo
e te encontro
Encounter
Thirty years later
and after a thousand lost battles
in the stiffness of my muscles
finally i find you
In the sweet smell of sweat
in the half moan that comes out of the throat
involuntarily when I sit up
finally i find you
Thirty years later
stiff as two logs floating in the river
that widens and slows down
finally i find you
In my inflexible essence
stubborn and inexhaustible source
of all the pain that exists
i finally understand you
and find you
