Mi voz quiere cosas que tu no entiendes
yo se que algún día tu me comprenderás
Mi voz es una estación de radio
mal sincronizada.
Cuando nací me atravesaron
una cánula muy rápido
para que pudiera respirar
y me destruyeron
las cuerdas vocales
pero yo sé que algún día
tu me comprenderás
y disfrutaremos
de una plática en un pino
con hojas delgadas
y pájaros negros alrededor.
Mi voz quiere cosas que tu no entiendes
yo se que algún día tu me comprenderás
Empujo mi andadera
al ritmo de una música que mueve
las hojas del pino con mucha fuerza.
Es la música del amor
que me inspira a caminar
para llegar hacia ti y cantar contigo.

My voice wants things
you do not understand
My voice is a radio station
that is out of tune.
When I was born
they put a tube
down my throat so I could breathe
and they destroyed my vocal chords.
But one day I know
you will understand me
and we will enjoy a conversation
under a pine tree with thin leaves
and black birds all around.
I push my walker
to the rhythm of the music
that moves the leaves of the pine trees
with great strength.
It’s the music of love
that inspires me to walk
towards you
to sing together.
