Nesta terra hai parellas de palabras duras
Que non sobrevivirían tan só unha semana
O frío baleiro da separación
Como unha árbore tronzada polo pe
Simplemente desaparecería a sua sonoridade
Seca, cortante, binaria
Hai parellas de palabras que se agarran
tan forte que levantan paredes onde quedas
Atrapado na escaseza de vocablos
Na penuria de matices, na vida de carencia
Word pairs
There are harsh word pairs in this land
That they wouldn't survive just one week
The cold emptiness of separation
Like a tree felled by the foot
Its sound would simply disappear
Dry, sharp, binary
There are pairs of words that stick together
so strong that they raise walls where you stand
Caught in a shortage of terms
In the scarcity of nuances, in the life of lack
