Hoy bailaré [English translation]

Today I will dance

Until my feet become dust,

Although it hangs with its claws from my skin,

All this world of sun and shadows.

Today I will dance

Although you no longer want to know me,

Maybe I will find another red mouth,

To enable me to see the stars.

Today I will dance,

My soul will rest at dawn,

Without worrying about where I fall,

Without asking myself when and why

Life sometimes wounds me.

Today I will dance

With all those who want to throw off

This garment, which did no more than

Harden us like stone.

Today I will dance,

Without concern, no thought of yesterday,

Without expecting to have tomorrow

Some direction indicated for me.

Today I will dance,

Without my present and without my past,

No welcomes, no goodbyes, without being

Someone who tells the four winds why

I catch solitary dreams.

Today I will dance let it be for everything happening

in the rest of this world

at times beautiful and at other times insane

which does not seek to free itself of weapons

but to make wars of convenience

where a Nobel Peace Laureate is required

rather than honouring life, to celebrate death.

Today I will dance and dance, let it be for everything happening

in the rest of the world

Today I will dance

Until my feet become dust,

Although it hangs with its claws from my skin,

All this world of sun and shadows.
