01 - Emadan
Offer me, offer me
in a single pill
now that the odd has taken over my body
Can medicine cure absence?
Plural got sick
it’s not just about me.
And outside of the manufacturing system
sense, sense, what’s with you?
02 - Suhartzea
Do you recognize
the smell of the moment when ideas ignite?
Will we be aware
of the moment when ours will burn out?
Are you already aware of the moment
they will come and why?
Have they not yet realized
that we die sooner if we are left alone?
It may take a while but perhaps
before the fire is extinguished we may get to our place.
Will it be the same?
Will chance be merciful?
Do you already know how ideas grow
and why they are distorted and decompose
when we try to understand each other?
Do you already know how ideas grow and why
they slip from our lips
but we never hold their hands?
It may take a while
but before the fire is extinguished
let’s get to our place.
Perhaps the same
If chance is merciful.
03 - Beltzaile
Behind that modesty you admire, you
Perhaps a trace of what once you wanted to be?
I caress your forehead with my hand,
I have no more words now.
Don’t you worry, love
in that room where the air is heavy
there is something you have not seen.
You look inside with ungrateful eyes
as you look at the impostor who deserves nothing.
I comb your hair with my hand
I have no more words now.
Don’t you worry, love
in that room between your ribs
there is something you have not seen.
04 - Hondartza bat estolderietan
In this plain where it is spring night
my throat is snow and the moon is our prey.
The tangle of spirits of the dead sing
for us there is neither future nor warmth
no suffocating hunger to corrupts the body
no sterile passion to melt the brain,
with the water that our clavicles collect
it works the mil by crushing the hangovers.
From broken hourglasses,
a beach in the sewers.
The manifest reads: Burn the last piece!
Life is an indecipherable puzzle.
From broken hourglasses,
a beach in the sewers.
05 - Jaio aitzin
Someonenbefore birth
had dreamed with the sky covered by buildings
beyond the windows spending the days watching
only the neighbor’s world
with a halogen tube as a roof.
And in the meantime, smoke from between the lips.
And in the meantime, smoke from the lungs.
Someone before living
has built between the brick walls
a fragile bridge to the outside
superb in our image and likeness
that while it is full of contradictions
it’s coming, it’s complete
that in each test advances a fourth of a step
closer, closer.
Come closer,
I don’t want gods,
nor here, not now,
I don’t believe in destiny.
Art was just a cruel lie
and I want to blame it for everything.
But before anyone dies
I can’t get it right
who I should point out as the killer.
06 - Historia
You’ve assaulted that which was protected with a shield
in the essence of each question
with a luminous gust, peace was undone.
The story, just a moment
some effective drug
challenging counterfactual
something that never happened.
Useless faith.
each answer two questions:
the one you don’t remember
and the one you don’t want to know.
We met one winter
there was no piano in that place
strange loneliness
on a table
shady roofs
between short sentences.
07 - Sinkropredazioa
You are my excuse
to follow the brightness of the school of fish
to submit to the movements that fly
You are my excuse.
This summer night I’m not allowed, I’m not allowed
sleeping without getting lost in the fever
if only I had a cold heart
I would sleep soundly for centuries, without being able to wake up.
The blood moves through my veins rhythmically
the clouds may darken, but it does not rain
I have called them and we have reunited all the weak…
Synchropredation, synchropredation.
08 - Sua
From the slippery horizon you inspect the nearby universe closely
looking for something else
as if it were the coins you find in phone booths
you always want something, even though
you are looking for a sparkle
surrounded by light
how can you see clearly fearing the dark?
And you daydream of travelling over the shooting stars
as you go down the road
and being able to concentrate as much
in that lie, in that lie
the seat belt is useless
at that speed.
You’ll go out just like the fire
but you are fire, after a long time.
09 - Ihia
The reed dreams that I want to sleep
on its deathbed not to discover
how its stems fall.
You never warn me when I try to escape
following my steps to find the place
that sounds like a deafening silence.
Night falls on this gray river
diluting darkness.
I feel good, don’t worry anymore
I just want to feel unreality.
10 - Panoptikoa
Cell without number
of this panoptic prison.
For someone to watch
everything you ever dreamed of.
Calls without number
and the voice had told you nothing.
Return to the protection of the cell
open every week, seven days a week, 24 hours a day.
Unlocked cell
walls that will protect you
of everything on the outside.
They talk about catastrophe from the loudspeakers,
who will want to leave this shelter?
The days go and the days come
you are alone and I am alone
they are alone and no one is looking at them
but what if your eyes give us away?
The days go and the days come
you are alone and I am alone
they are alone and no one is looking at them
but what if I’m not able to not give you away?
The days go and the days come
you are alone and I am alone
we are alone and if no one is looking
will it be too late to escape?
