La casa de mis tías
En la que la brisa se movía
Por los muebles de felpa

Y las sombras flotaban por las escaleras
Las ánimas en pena vagaban
En noches calladas

Cuando las luces del tráfico
Dibujaban sombras psicodélicas entre las persianas
Cobijando a los que dormían en las camas

Una niña soñaba con la humanidad
Más allá de los cuadros
Y del chocolate con galletas

Que comía antes de rezar el rosario
En una habitación donde se despertarían
Sus recuerdos

Vagando por el corredor
Antes de huir por las ventanas


My aunts' house
Where the shadows floated down the stairs
The breeze moved beside the furniture

And the spirits wandered the night
Disturbing the dust of centuries
Crawling under the floorboards

By the stairs
During quiet nights
Souls in pain moved in the darkness

The cobwebs shuddering behind the blinds
As a little girl dreamt of
The world beyond the pictures in the wall

And the hot chocolate
Before the prayers they recited each day
In a room lost in the house

Their voices rising in the ether
Escaping through the windows


My great aunts in 1930
