Mr Precarious I’m a nanny goat on the surface of Mars A goldfish wriggling on the seat of a car I’m an elephant dancing on ice A wedding cake guarded by mice Don’t know how I ended up here or where I can go But I’m not going to last long here, that much I know I’m a pacifist at a NRA rally I took a wrong turn down a dark alley My head swims, my heart’s in a flurry I try to run but it comes out a scurry Don’t know how I ended up here or where I can go But I’m not gonna last long here, that much I know My position is precarious And there ain’t nothing hilarious about that I feel strange, I feel uncertain Like I’m facing the final curtain It’s been a while since I lost my faith I’ve got to get the hell out of this place Don’t know how I ended up here or where I can go But I’m not gonna last long here, that much I know My position is precarious And there ain’t nothing hilarious about that -- Señor Precario Soy una cabra en la superficie de Marte Un pececillo retorciéndose en el asiento de un coche Soy un elefante bailando sobre hielo Un pastel de boda vigilado por ratones No sé cómo he acabado aquí o adónde puedo ir Pero no voy a durar mucho aquí, eso seguro Soy un pacifista en un mitin de la Asociación Nacional del Rifle Me he metido en un callejón sin salida Mi cabeza da vueltas, mi corazón late frenético Intento correr pero apenas me muevo No sé cómo he acabado aquí o adónde puedo ir Pero no voy a durar mucho aquí, eso seguro Mi posición es precaria Y no hay nada de gracioso en ello Me siento raro, me siento inseguro Como si estuviera enfrentándome al telón final Ya hace tiempo que perdí la fe, Tengo que salir de aquí como sea No sé cómo he acabado aquí o adónde puedo ir Pero no voy a durar mucho aquí, eso seguro Mi posición es precaria Y no hay nada de gracioso en ello

El niño mudo Por Federico García Lorca El niño busca su voz. (La tenía el rey de los grillos). En una gota de agua buscaba su voz el niño. No la quiero para hablar; me haré con ella un anillo que llevará mi silencio en su dedo pequeñito. (La voz cautiva, a lo lejos, se ponía un traje de grillo). -- The Little Mute Boy Translated by W.S. Merwin The little boy was looking for his voice. (The king of the crickets had it.) In a drop of water the little boy was looking for his voice. I do not want it for speaking with; I will make a ring of it so that he may wear my silence on his little finger In a drop of water the little boy was looking for his voice. (The captive voice, far away, put on a cricket’s clothes.)
