Casandra vio en sueños el futuro.

En la sombra de una pesadilla Casandra leyó
In the shade of a nightmare Cassandra read
los versos de ese poema que aún no han escrito
the verses of that poem that wasn't written yet
los dioses que, riendo, la hirieron con su maldición.
by the gods who, laughing, hurted her with her curse.
Supo del hambre y de las guerras de siempre,
She knew about hunger and wars since forever,
de bufones celebrando el odio, bailando entre hogueras,
about bufoons celebrating hate, dancing among fireplaces,
de despedidas y de monstruos minerales
of farewells and mineral monsters
bebiendo insaciables la savia dulce del planeta.

Casandra vio a hombres y mujeres

dormitando en sus burbujas
sleeping in their bubbles
tras las máscaras del miedo.

Mas también vio la luz del alba
But she also saw the morning light
asomar por la cancela que nadie jamás abrió.

Supo que aún quedaban esperanzas,
She knew there were still hopes,
que otros sueños la esperaban.

y la gente sólo vio en su augurio delirio y locura.

La condenaron a vagar perdida y sola.

Herejía es mostrar la verdad descarnada y desnuda.

Abandonada, tras los años la encontró

un muchacho que andaba buscando esperanza y respuestas.

y de la luz del amanecer brillando tras la puerta.
