El corazón que ríe
tu vida es tu vida
no dejes que sea apaleada hasta una sumisión húmeda
estate alerta.
hay salidas.
hay una luz en alguna parte.
puede que no sea mucha luz pero
golpea la oscuridad.
estate alerta.
los dioses te van a ofrecer oportunidades.
conocélas.
tomálas.
no podés vencer a la muerte pero
podés vencer a la muerte en vida, a veces.
y cuanto más aprendas a hacerlo,
más luz va a haber.
tu vida es tu vida.
conocéla mientras aún la tengas.
sos una maravilla
los dioses esperan para deleitarse
con vos.

The laughing heart
your life is your life
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is a light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.
