I wrote this two years ago I think . . . it's the one thing that I've written recently (semi-recently) that I haven't shunned and burned in the woods that don't exist here. Anyway, it's in Spanish but I'll write up a translation too (although I'm not sure how good it'll be in English):
"Fuego"
Un rel?mpago rompe el cielo
Sobre los ?rboles temblientes
Pero t?, fuego, no te importa
Contin?as a quemarte
Contin?as a dar una luz
Un poco de calor
Para que puedan vivir los animales
Para que pueda vivir yo
Porque yo s? que siempre te quemar?s
Te agotar?s jam?s
Jam?s
Porque sin ti, sin ti morir?a
Necesito una luz para siempre
Necesito calor para mi cuerpo fr?o
No pensaba que pudieras apagarte
Pero el cielo necesita llorar a veces
Las l?grimas de Dios se caen sobre ti
Poco a poco tu luz se quita la vida
Porque no quieres vivir mezclado con l?grimas
Con gotas de dolor y con el sufrimiento del rel?mpago
?Por qu? moriste as??
?Por qu? te rendiste a las l?grimas del cielo?
No pensaba que pudieras morir
Y ahora no te quiero
No te quiero
"Fire"
A lightning bolt breaks the sky
Above the trembling trees
But you, fire, you don?t care
You continue to burn
You continue to give a light
A little bit of heat
So that the animals can live
So that I can live
Because I know that you?ll always burn
You will never go out
Never
Because without you, without you I would die
I need a light forever
I need heat for my cold body
I didn?t think that you could burn out
But the sky needs to cry sometimes
The tears of God fall above you
Little by little your light dies out
Because you don?t want to live mixed with tears
With drops of pain and with the suffering of the lightning bolt
Why did you die like that?
Why did you succumb to the tears of the sky?
I didn?t think that you could die
And now I don?t love you
I don?t love you
