Mirate
así
qué cangrejo monstruoso atenazó tu infancia
qué paliza paterna te generó cobarde
qué tristes sumisiones te hicieron despiadado
no escapes a tus ojos
mirate
así
dónde están las walquirias que no pudiste
la primera marmita de tus sañas
te metiste en crueldades de once varas así
qué cangrejo monstruoso atenazó tu infancia
qué paliza paterna te generó cobarde
qué tristes sumisiones te hicieron despiadado
no escapes a tus ojos
mirate
así
dónde están las walquirias que no pudiste
la primera marmita de tus sañas
y ahora el odio te sigue como un buitre
no escapes a tus ojos
mirate
así
aunque nadie te mate
sos cadáver
aunque nadie te pudra
estás podrido
dios te ampare
o mejor
dios te reviente.
Mario Benedetti
Torturer with mirror
Here
look at you
look at you
what monstrous crab gripped your childhood
what paternal beating made you a coward
what miserable submissions made you so heartless
what paternal beating made you a coward
what miserable submissions made you so heartless
don't avoid your sight
here
look at you
here
look at you
where are the Valkyries you couldn't handle
the first boiling pot with your rage
the first boiling pot with your rage
you got involved in cruelties way over your head
and now hatred chases you like a vulture
don't avoid your sight
here
look at you
although nobody killed you
you're already dead
although nobody led you to decay
you're already rotten
god help you
or better yet
god annihilate you
translated by Aziz Odilon
