Me acordé cuando vino mi visita
I remembered when my visitor came
En este día de lluvia se me cruza una pared
On this rainy day, a wall crosses my path
Resbalé y sin querer me uní a su cuerpo
I slipped and without intending, I merged with her body
Luego me morí en su pecho
Then I died in her embrace
Pero no me sentí bien
But I didn't feel good
Y sé que en la noche va a regresar
And I know she'll return at night
En la hierba va a regresar
She'll return in the grass
Y mi boca le cantará
And my mouth will sing to her
Quise hablar y tengo la lengua muerta
I wanted to speak but my tongue is numb
Se me atrofia la consciencia
My consciousness is withering away
Me conecto con su ser
I connect with their being
Hasta lloré cuando se fue mi visita
I even cried when my guest left
Nada es nuevo, todo irrita
Nothing is new, everything irritates
Reflexiono sobre mi visita
I reflect on my guest
Y sé que en la noche va a regresar
And I know they'll return in the night
En la hierba va a regresar
In the grass, they'll return
Y mi boca le cantará
And my mouth will sing to them
¡Oh, oh, no!
Oh, oh, no!
¡Oh! Y sé que en la noche va a regresar
Oh! And I know they'll return in the night
En la hierba va a regresar
In the grass, they'll return
Y mi boca le cantará
And my mouth will sing to her
¡Oh, oh! Y sé, mi consciencia va a regresar
Oh, oh! And I know, my conscience will return
En mi sexo va a regresar
In my being, it will return
Y mi canto le cantará
And my song will sing to her
