Entre el espanto y la ternura [English translation]

Between terror and tenderness

Everything passes.

A wise man with molding,

hand, elbow.

Between terror and tenderness

Ivy grows.

Of sound mind with madness,

flower, stone.

Between terror and tenderness

Life sings.

A clear and dark tune,

Profane and sacred.

Between terror and tenderness

Luck runs,

With bottom and height,

With life and death,

With life and death.

Between terror and tenderness

Yesterday and today.

Green apples and ripe ones

There are still, there are still,

There are still.

Between terror and tenderness

Early hour,

Man works

Among madness

For tomorrow, for tomorrow.
