Y te cuentan como él se transformó
And they tell you how he transformed
En árbol, porque así lo deseó y se quedó
Into a tree, because that’s what he wished and he stayed
Plantado allí mirando
Planted there looking
La tierra en que nacían flores nuevas
At the land where new flowers were born
Fue refugio de conejo y colibrí
It was a refuge for rabbit and hummingbird
Y el viento le enseño a que saben si
And the wind taught him what they taste like
La miel y la resina silvestres
Wild honey and resin
Y la lluvia lo bañó
And the rain bathed him
Y mi felicidad, decía para sus adentros
And my happiness, he said to himself
Eso, eso sé que ahora la encontré
That, that I know I’ve found now
Eso, porque tengo
That's why I have
Todo el tiempo ya para mí
All the time now for myself
Ya no necesito más de nadie
I no longer need anyone else
Toda la belleza de la vida es para mí
All the beauty of life is for me
Y un día pasaron por allí
And one day they passed by there
Los ojos de una niña
The eyes of a little girl
Que le habían robado al cielo
That had been stolen from the sky
El brillo de dos estrellas
The shine of two stars
Y se estremecieron
And they trembled
Sus raíces
Their roots
Cuánto desconcierto de improviso dentro de él
What confusion suddenly inside him
Eso que solamente siente el hombre sin la mujer
That which only a man feels without a woman
Y alargó sus ramas hacia ella
And he stretched his branches towards her
Sintió que la felicidad no es nunca la mitad del infinito
He felt that happiness is never half of infinity
Luego, era al tiempo sol y luna
Then, it was both sun and moon
Nube y música
Cloud and music
Era al tiempo, risa y llanto
It was both laughter and tears
Y entretanto
And in the meantime
Era un hombre que a la vida despertó
He was a man who awakened to life
Era como el canto que llenaba
It was like the song that filled
Sus enormes soledades
Their enormous solitudes
Esa parte verdadera
That true part
Que una fábula encantada
Which an enchanted fable
Esconde en sí
Hides within itself
Para ser auténtica
To be authentic
