Poem
Eva Durán
It doesn’t matter how many times
It doesn’t matter how many timesYou have lost your innocence
A man will always come to you
Invoking magic
And regaining it for you
Then
Through the wonder of inertia
He will pluck your petals one by one
Leaving you naked
Light
Ready for the next time
For the next miracle.

It doesn’t matter how many times
no importa cuántas veces
hayas perdido la inocencia
siempre vendrá a ti un hombre
que invoque la magia
y la recupere para ti
luego
por la maravilla de la inercia
te deshojara pétalo a pétalo
dejándote desnuda
liviana
lista para la próxima vez
para el próximo milagro
hayas perdido la inocencia
siempre vendrá a ti un hombre
que invoque la magia
y la recupere para ti
luego
por la maravilla de la inercia
te deshojara pétalo a pétalo
dejándote desnuda
liviana
lista para la próxima vez
para el próximo milagro

It doesn’t matter how many times
It doesn’t matter how many timesYou have lost your innocence
A man will always come to you
Invoking magic
And regaining it for you
Then
Through the wonder of inertia
He will pluck your petals one by one
Leaving you naked
Light
Ready for the next time
For the next miracle.
