For the universe I am a particle
product of a sudden explosion
For the silence I am the elixir of
a sincere word to say
For death I am a temptation
ridiculous and burlesque
For the winter I'm the cold
lethal, invisible and indivisible
For my land I am a crazy wanderer
playing with the wind
and dissipating the shadows
For me I am the voice that deceives its echo
the word that cannot find its origin
the blood that never sleeps.
The reason is lost, and here I am one.
