| The cross pulled from his chest
| La cruz tirada de su pecho
|
| Raises a welt, leaden in every limb
| Levanta una roncha, plomizo en cada miembro
|
| Sleep can watch for seizures
| El sueño puede vigilar las convulsiones
|
| The legless man had directed him to a window
| El hombre sin piernas lo había dirigido a una ventana
|
| Window like blind eyes probed the mud
| Ventana como ojos ciegos sondearon el barro
|
| The minutes that were left
| Los minutos que faltaban
|
| Ran across his throat stuffed with cotton
| Corrió por su garganta rellena de algodón
|
| And his mouth could hear the distant splashes
| Y su boca podía escuchar las salpicaduras distantes
|
| A fever and his hand is worse
| Tiene fiebre y su mano está peor.
|
| In the silent film days
| En los días del cine mudo
|
| He must remain an enigma
| Debe seguir siendo un enigma
|
| They climbed three flights of stairs to the night
| Subieron tres tramos de escaleras a la noche
|
| Like a hundred pieces of glass
| Como cien piezas de vidrio
|
| There were numerous outstretched hands throwing shadows
| Había numerosas manos extendidas arrojando sombras
|
| A pair of shadows
| Un par de sombras
|
| Holding the three cornered hat of a cardinal
| Sosteniendo el sombrero de tres picos de un cardenal
|
| We move on to snake venoms
| Pasamos a los venenos de serpiente
|
| Christ would spit on you
| Cristo te escupiría
|
| And that’s who you remind me of
| Y es a quien me recuerdas
|
| Beneath a musty green
| Debajo de un verde mohoso
|
| The wound appears to be dying | La herida parece estar muriendo. |
